Here is a response from DHS Survey Director, Anjushree Pradhan:

1) In the figure 13.6 (Awareness of hypertension and treatment status), the `treated' considers only treatment with medication. That is 318A for woman and 419A for men.
2) The `controlled' blood pressure is determined by the status during data collection whereby the person was told about having hypertension, and currently taking antihypertensive medications, and has normal blood pressure. It does not take into account any previous BP measurements.
