This report examines the prevalence of hypertension, its management and control, and the use of antihypertensive medication, diet, and exercise in Chinese adults residing in the San Francisco community. Blood pressure (BP) was measured objectively using an automated oscillometric Dinamap recorder on 708 Chinese adults (295 men and 413 women; age range from 19 to 98 years, mean 59.7), and hypertension, defined as BP >140/90 mm Hg and/or the use of antihypertensive medications, was found in 489 (69%), most of them immigrants from China. Although 202 patients (41%) received antihypertensive medications, only 28 (14%) achieved BP control (<140/90 mm Hg), and in examining the self-management of hypertension, it was found that only 45% of patients used low-sodium diets, and 49% performed regular exercises for > or = 30 minutes > or = 3 times weekly.
本报告调查了居住在旧金山社区的中国成年人中高血压的患病率、治疗与控制情况，以及抗高血压药物、饮食和运动的使用情况。使用自动示波Dinamap记录仪对708名中国成年人（295名男性和413名女性；年龄范围为19至98岁，平均59.7岁）进行了客观血压测量，发现血压>140/90 mmHg和/或正在使用抗高血压药物的高血压患者有489人（69%），其中大多数是来自中国的移民。尽管202名患者（41%）接受了抗高血压药物治疗，但只有28人（14%）实现了血压控制（<140/90 mmHg），在研究高血压的自我管理时发现，只有45%的患者采用低钠饮食，49%的患者每周进行≥3次、每次≥30分钟的规律运动。
