This paper analyzes the Croatian Adult Health Survey data, collected in 2003 with a total of 9,070 respondents aged 18+. Based on an average of two measurements, respondents with the mean systolic arterial pressure > or = 140 mmHg or mean diastolic pressure > or = 90 mmHg were classified as hypertensive. The data for men and women were analyzed separately, according to regions. Prevalence of hypertension in men was 40.5% (95% confidence interval CI 37.9-43.01; coefficient of variability CV = 3.2), women 34.9% (95% CI 33.2-36.7; CV 2.5). There were no significant differences in regional prevalence in men, except in the Northern and Eastern region. In women we did not detect any significant regional difference. Non-controlled arterial hypertension is an important public health problem in all monitored regions of Croatia. Raising awareness about the problem, early detection and encouraging the population to adhere to the therapy for elevated arterial pressure, in addition to a healthy life style, are important for successful control and harm reduction.
本文分析了2003年收集的克罗地亚成人健康调查数据，共有9070名18岁及以上的受访者。基于两次测量的平均值，收缩压平均值≥140 mmHg或舒张压平均值≥90 mmHg的受访者被归类为高血压患者。根据地区分别对男性和女性的数据进行了分析。男性高血压患病率为40.5%（95%置信区间CI 37.9 - 43.01；变异系数CV = 3.2），女性为34.9%（95%CI 33.2 - 36.7；CV 2.5）。男性的地区患病率除北部和东部地区外没有显著差异。在女性中，我们未检测到任何显著的地区差异。未控制的动脉高血压是克罗地亚所有监测地区的一个重要公共卫生问题。提高对该问题的认识、早期检测并鼓励民众坚持治疗高血压，同时保持健康的生活方式，对于成功控制血压和减少危害至关重要。
