During the initial phase of the international "Community Control Programme of Hypertension" sponsored by W.H.O., and carried out in Italy by the Clinica Medica II of the University of Padua, a random sample of 5852 subjects was screened (11% of the whole population). The response rate was of 75.3%; the prevalence rate of hypertension (160 or 95), based on casual blood pressure readings, was 29.5%. Measures of the control of hypertension and other relevant results are: a 35.6% of all hypertensives were aware of their condition, and of these 41% were under treatment. Effective treatment of hypertension was seen in one 12.3% of all treated hypertensives (values lower than 16/95), while 14.2% of all hypertensives had values at or above 200 (systolic) or 120 (diastolic). 98.2% of all hypertensives were not under effective control. As a whole, control of hypertension was better in women and in elderly patients.
在世界卫生组织发起、由帕多瓦大学第二临床医学院在意大利实施的国际“高血压社区控制项目”的初始阶段，对5852名受试者进行了随机抽样筛查（占总人口的11%）。应答率为75.3%；基于偶测血压读数，高血压（收缩压160或舒张压95）的患病率为29.5%。高血压控制措施及其他相关结果如下：所有高血压患者中有35.6%知晓自己的病情，其中41%正在接受治疗。在所有接受治疗的高血压患者中，有12.3%的患者血压得到有效控制（血压值低于160/95），而所有高血压患者中有14.2%的患者收缩压达到或高于200，舒张压达到或高于120。所有高血压患者中有98.2%未得到有效控制。总体而言，女性和老年患者的高血压控制情况较好。
