The distribution of arterial blood pressure (BP) values of 1499 adult inhabitants of four Newfoundland communities was surveyed. Mean age- and sex-adjusted BP scores were found to be higher in each of three fishing villages than in the logging and mining community, Badger, in the central part of the province. It is postulated that the observed differences may be caused by environmental factors. The prevalence of individuals with probable essential hypertension (diastolic BP > 100 mm. Hg) in individuals over 50 years of age was found to be three times higher in the island community, Fogo, than in Badger. In both communities less than one third of those with probable hypertensive disease had received treatment.
对纽芬兰四个社区的1499名成年居民的动脉血压(BP)值分布进行了调查。发现三个渔村的平均年龄和性别调整后的血压得分均高于该省中部的伐木和采矿社区巴杰尔。据推测,观察到的差异可能是由环境因素造成的。发现50岁以上个体中可能患有原发性高血压(舒张压>100毫米汞柱)的患病率在福戈岛社区是巴杰尔社区的三倍。在这两个社区中,患有可能的高血压疾病的人中接受治疗的不到三分之一。
