May Measurement Month 2021 (MMM21) is the fourth edition of the global initiative in Poland initiated by the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) and aimed at raising awareness of hypertension and the need for blood pressure (BP) screening. An opportunistic cross-sectional survey of volunteers aged ≥18 was carried out in 132 sites - between May and September 2021. Blood pressure was measured in 1699 subjects (mean age: 40.8 ± 17.0 years; 68.8% females). After multiple imputation, the age and sex standardized systolic and diastolic BP was 126.6/78.7 mmHg for the entire group, 133.8/81.9 mmHg in individuals on antihypertensive medication, and 125.4/78.6 mmHg in those not taking antihypertensive drugs. The proportion of subjects with high BP (≥140/90 mmHg) were: 30.9% for the entire group, 40.4% in subjects taking antihypertensive drugs, and 17.9% in those not taking antihypertensive drugs. Of all participants, 33.9% were in the age range of 18-29 years and we observed higher BP levels and more frequent BP elevation in males in this age group. These data provide unique insights into the hypertension rates during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the associated restrictions, only limited data could be obtained for older adults. Interestingly, among young Polish participants, the rate of hypertension and the level of BP were higher in males compared to females, suggestive perhaps of a higher susceptibility of males to experience a rise in BP during specific circumstances associated with a pandemic.
2021年5月测量月（MMM21）是由国际高血压学会（ISH）在波兰发起的全球倡议的第四个版本，旨在提高对高血压的认识以及血压（BP）筛查的必要性。2021年5月至9月期间，在132个地点对18岁及以上的志愿者进行了机会性横断面调查。对1699名受试者（平均年龄：40.8±17.0岁；68.8%为女性）进行了血压测量。经过多重填补后，整个组的年龄和性别标准化收缩压和舒张压为126.6/78.7 mmHg，服用抗高血压药物的个体为133.8/81.9 mmHg，未服用抗高血压药物的个体为125.4/78.6 mmHg。高血压（≥140/90 mmHg）受试者的比例为：整个组30.9%，服用抗高血压药物的受试者40.4%，未服用抗高血压药物的受试者17.9%。在所有参与者中，33.9%在18-29岁年龄范围内，我们观察到该年龄组男性的血压水平更高，血压升高更频繁。这些数据为新冠疫情期间的高血压发病率提供了独特的见解。由于相关限制，仅获得了有限的老年人数据。有趣的是，在波兰年轻参与者中，男性的高血压发病率和血压水平高于女性，这可能表明男性在与疫情相关的特定情况下血压升高的易感性更高。
