A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted to determine the mean levels of blood pressure and prevalence rates of hypertension and to identify differences in the prevalence of other risk factors in hypertensive and nonhypertensive people. A total of 8624 men and women > or = 19 years were randomly selected. Overall, 18.0% (16.8% males and 19.4% females) had systemic hypertension. The mean levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the prevalence of hypertension increased with age, but no significant differences were found between the sexes when adjusted for body mass index. There was a high prevalence of obesity, hyperlipidaemia and diabetes mellitus among hypertensive people compared with nonhypertensive. Our study suggests that the prevalence of hypertension in Isfahan is greater than supposed.
开展了一项基于人群的横断面调查，以确定血压平均水平、高血压患病率，并找出高血压患者和非高血压患者在其他危险因素患病率方面的差异。总共随机选取了8624名年龄大于或等于19岁的男性和女性。总体而言，18.0%（男性为16.8%，女性为19.4%）患有系统性高血压。收缩压和舒张压的平均水平以及高血压患病率随年龄增长而升高，但在调整体重指数后，未发现性别之间存在显著差异。与非高血压患者相比，高血压患者中肥胖、高脂血症和糖尿病的患病率较高。我们的研究表明，伊斯法罕的高血压患病率高于预期。
