A total of 5,026 persons constituting 75% of the total population of a village of Bangladesh were screened for elevated blood pressure. Three hundred thirty seven (6.7%) showed diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or above. Those with diastolic blood pressure of 95 or above constituted 2% of the population. 74% of the hypertensives were asymptomatic while 86.3% of the cases were undetected and therefore remained untreated. Our findings indicate the need for early detection and control of elevated blood pressure to prevent complications. It is recommended that a large scale community survey programme may be undertaken for detection and early treatment of hypertension which helps prevention of total complications.
对孟加拉国一个村庄总人口的75%，即5026人进行了高血压筛查。337人（6.7%）舒张压达到或超过90毫米汞柱。舒张压在95毫米汞柱及以上的人占总人口的2%。74%的高血压患者无症状，而86.3%的病例未被发现，因此未得到治疗。我们的研究结果表明，有必要早期发现和控制血压升高以预防并发症。建议开展大规模社区调查项目，以检测和早期治疗高血压，这有助于预防所有并发症。
