AB  - BACKGROUND: Hypertension (HTN) is one of the primary risk factors for heart 
      disease and stroke worldwide. The present meta-analysis was aimed to 
      systematically review and statistically estimate the prevalence rate of 
      pre-hypertension (PHTN) and HTN in the Iranian child/adolescent and adult age 
      groups. METHODS: In this study, four International databases, including PubMed, 
      Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane, as well as three Iranian databases, 
      including SID, Magiran, and IranMedex, were separately investigated for articles 
      published before January 2021. Also, we estimated the pooled effect size for the 
      prevalence of PHTN and HTN in children/adolescent and adult age groups. Stata 
      software (version 14.0) was used for all statistical analyses. RESULTS: From a 
      total of 1185 articles found in database searches, fifty-one were included in the 
      meta-analysis. The prevalence of HTN in the Iranian adult population was 26.26% 
      (25.11 % and 26.22 % for women and men, respectively). Meanwhile, the prevalence 
      of PHTN and HTN in the child/adolescent age group was 8.97% (95% CI 7.33 - 10.61) 
      and 8.98% (95% CI 7.59 - 10.36), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides 
      information which can be used for various purposes, including study designing. 
      Further nationwide surveys should be carried out to obtain accurate information 
      on the HTN prevalence rate, particularly based on the American College of 
      Cardiology /American Heart Association guidelines in the Iranian population.
