Prevalence of hypertension, measured on a random sample of Penobscot Indian adults on reservation in Maine, was 23 per cent. Only 50 per cent of the hypertensive Penobscots were aware of their condition. Among those treated with antihypertensive medications, 56 per cent were controlled. When compared to a statewide sample of Maine adults, the prevalence of hypertension among Penobscots was similar but awareness was significantly lower.
在缅因州保留地对佩诺布斯科特印第安成年人的随机样本进行测量,高血压患病率为23%。只有50%的高血压佩诺布斯科特人知道自己的病情。在接受抗高血压药物治疗的人群中,56%的人的血压得到了控制。与缅因州成年人的全州样本相比,佩诺布斯科特人中的高血压患病率相似,但知晓率显著较低。
