To determine the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) and its risk factors, we performed a population-based national cross-sectional blood pressure (BP) survey in Korea in 1990. Through cluster sampling, we selected for study individuals older than 30 years of age in 190 of 154,082 districts. Among 25,567 eligible individuals, 21,242 subjects had measurements of BP and body mass index (BMI) and underwent a standard interview. BP was recorded as the mean of two measurements on a standard mercury manometer. The prevalence of HTN varied widely by area of residence. Overall prevalence was 19.8% for HTN defined as BP > or = 140/90 mm Hg or subject on medication, and 12.4% for BP > or = 160/95 mm Hg or subject on medication. Correlates for HTN identified by logistic regression analysis included positive family history of HTN (odds ratio [OR] = 2.2,), age (10 years); OR = 1.9), alcohol intake (500 cc; OR = 1.4), urban location (versus rural; OR = 1.3), and BMI (1 BMI unit; OR = 1.2).

为了确定高血压（HTN）的患病率及其危险因素，我们于1990年在韩国开展了一项基于人群的全国性横断面血压（BP）调查。通过整群抽样，我们从154,082个区中的190个区选取了30岁以上的个体进行研究。在25,567名符合条件的个体中，21,242名受试者测量了血压和体重指数（BMI）并接受了标准访谈。血压记录为在标准汞柱血压计上两次测量的平均值。高血压的患病率因居住地区而异。定义为血压≥140/90 mmHg或正在接受药物治疗的高血压总体患病率为19.8%，血压≥160/95 mmHg或正在接受药物治疗的患病率为12.4%。通过逻辑回归分析确定的高血压相关因素包括高血压家族史阳性（优势比[OR]=2.2）、年龄（每增加10岁；OR=1.9）、酒精摄入量（500 cc；OR=1.4）、城市地区（与农村地区相比；OR=1.3）和BMI（每增加1个BMI单位；OR=1.2）。[《美国预防医学杂志》1994年；10:200 - 4]
