A total of 8,172 persons constituting 98.6% of the total Secretariate Population of Bangladesh were screened for elevated blood pressure. One thousand and ninety cases (13.3%) showed diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or above. Those with diastolic blood pressure of 95 or above constituted 3.7% of the population. More than two-thirds of the latter group (71.6%) remained undetected indicating that vast majority of our hypertensive population remains undiagnosed and untreated. It is recommended that the misconception regarding symptomatic hypertenson should be removed by adequate emphasis on the preventive value of the control of hypertension on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complication. A plea has also been made for a large-scale survey to determine the extent of the problem in Bangladesh.
对构成孟加拉国秘书处总人口98.6%的8172人进行了高血压筛查。1090例（13.3%）舒张压达到或高于90毫米汞柱。舒张压在95毫米汞柱及以上的人占总人口的3.7%。后一组中超过三分之二（71.6%）的人未被发现，这表明我国绝大多数高血压患者仍未被诊断和治疗。建议通过充分强调控制高血压对心血管和脑血管并发症的预防价值，消除对症状性高血压的误解。还呼吁进行大规模调查，以确定孟加拉国该问题的严重程度。
