Data obtained in long-term epidemiological studies of arterial blood pressure in the general population in South Wales were analysed to provide background information for the rational planning of screening programmes for hypertension.The incidence rates for cardiovascular complications emphasize the much greater prognostic value of blood pressure measurements in men than in women. Proportionately fewer men are treated for hypertension at all ages and blood pressure levels; in the survey areas treatment for hypertension is less than satisfactory in both sexes but particularly inadequate among men.The data suggest that once a screening programme has been carried out rescreening can be made more efficient by allowing the intervals before re-examination to be determined by the initial findings rather than by age.
对在南威尔士普通人群中进行的动脉血压长期流行病学研究获得的数据进行了分析,以提供合理规划高血压筛查项目的背景信息。心血管并发症的发病率强调了血压测量对男性的预后价值远大于女性。在所有年龄和血压水平上,接受高血压治疗的男性比例相对较少;在调查区域,高血压治疗在两性中都不太令人满意,尤其是男性。数据表明,一旦开展了筛查项目,通过根据初始检查结果而非年龄来确定再次检查前的间隔时间,可以提高再次筛查的效率。
