A community control program for hypertension was instituted during 1972 and 1977 as a major subprogramme of the North Karelia project. The aim was to reduce the high blood-pressure levels prevalent among the whole population of the county of North Karelia. A community-based hypertension register, established according to the recommendations of the WHO, served as a central information system and ensured the continuous follow-up of the hypertensive patients. During the period May 1972 to April 1977 17 014 hypertensive subjects were registered (9.7% of the total population). The registered subjects were followed-up annually. The build-up of the registration system took two to three years, the system proved to be feasible, the percentage of non-participants during the follow-up was between 14 and 16% and the amount of missing data was insignificant.
1972年至1977年期间，作为北卡累利阿项目的一个主要子项目，启动了一项高血压社区控制计划。其目的是降低北卡累利阿县全体居民中普遍存在的高血压水平。根据世界卫生组织的建议建立的社区高血压登记册，作为一个中央信息系统，确保对高血压患者进行持续随访。在1972年5月至1977年4月期间，登记了17014名高血压患者（占总人口的9.7%）。对登记的对象每年进行随访。登记系统的建立耗时两到三年，该系统被证明是可行的，随访期间未参与者的比例在14%至16%之间，缺失数据的数量微不足道。
