The prevalence of hypertension in the urban black population in Sub-Saharan Africa is high and varies from 20% to 25%. In contrast, the prevalence of hypertension in the rural black is relatively low. In Natal the prevalence of hypertension in a large metropolitan city, Durban, is 25% in the adult Zulu, 17.2% in whites, and 14.2% in Indians. The prevalence of hypertension in the rural Zulu of Natal is 10%. Work on the pathogenesis of hypertension in the Zulu and Indian ethnic groups related to renin, aldosterone, dietary sodium and potassium, and intracellular sodium and potassium was virtually nonexistent. This review paper summarizes the salient features that were found.
撒哈拉以南非洲城市黑人人口中高血压患病率很高，在20%至25%之间。相比之下，农村黑人中高血压患病率相对较低。在纳塔尔，大城市德班的成年祖鲁人中高血压患病率为25%，白人为17.2%，印度人为14.2%。纳塔尔农村祖鲁人中高血压患病率为10%。关于祖鲁族和印度族高血压发病机制与肾素、醛固酮、饮食中钠和钾以及细胞内钠和钾关系的研究几乎不存在。这篇综述文章总结了所发现的显著特征。
