3347 males and 3927 females aged 35-54 with normal blood pressure (not on antihypertensive medication) at entry were followed up for 4 years. The incidence of hypertension and associated factors were analyzed. There was a significant difference in incidence of hypertension between southern and northern population of China (2-5 times). The age-adjusted 4 year incidence of definite hypertension in Beijing male and female workers were 6.8% and 4.1% respectively, but only 0.7% and 2.1% respectively in Guangzhou, while in Beijing farmers were 10.1%, 5.0%, and in Guangzhou farmers were 2.3%, 0.5% respectively. The results also showed incidence of hypertension were significantly correlated with body mass index (BMI). BMI greater than or equal to 24 group had higher hypertension incidence than BMI less than 24 (2.1-3.2 times). Alcohol intake was correlated to hypertension incidence rather than nonalcoholics. But no significant relations were found with smoking, educational level and the intensity of physical labour.
3347名男性和3927名年龄在35至54岁之间、入组时血压正常（未服用抗高血压药物）的女性接受了4年的随访。对高血压的发病率及相关因素进行了分析。中国南方和北方人群的高血压发病率存在显著差异（2至5倍）。北京男性和女性工人经年龄调整后的4年确诊高血压发病率分别为6.8%和4.1%，而在广州分别仅为0.7%和2.1%，北京农民为10.1%、5.0%，广州农民分别为2.3%、0.5%。结果还显示，高血压发病率与体重指数（BMI）显著相关。BMI大于或等于24的组高血压发病率高于BMI小于24的组（2.1至3.2倍）。饮酒与高血压发病率相关，而非饮酒者则不然。但未发现与吸烟、教育程度和体力劳动强度有显著关系。
