The Victorian community of the Borough of Queenscliffe (Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale) was screened for high blood pressure in May, 1975, and a high response rate was achieved. The prevalence of hypertension was lower than that reported from Albury in 1971, Brunswick in 1972 or Busselton in 1969, but the difference from the latter is likely to be due to a higher treatment rate in Queenscliff. The difference from the Albury (and, to a lesser extent, the Brunswick) data is substantial and cannot be explained in this way. While geographic variability in high blood pressure cannot be excluded, it is possible that different screening circumstances were a major factor.
1975年5月，对昆斯克利夫自治市（昆斯克利夫和朗斯代尔角）的维多利亚社区进行了高血压筛查，并取得了较高的响应率。高血压患病率低于1971年阿尔伯里、1972年布伦瑞克或1969年巴瑟尔顿报告的患病率，但与后者的差异可能是由于昆斯克利夫的治疗率较高。与阿尔伯里（以及在较小程度上与布伦瑞克）数据的差异很大，无法用这种方式解释。虽然不能排除高血压的地理变异性，但不同的筛查情况可能是一个主要因素。
