The prevalence distribution of hypertension: Connecticut adults 1978-1979

D H Freeman Jr et al. J Chronic Dis. 1983.

Abstract

The results of the first Connecticut Blood Pressure Survey are reported. It was found that sharp differences exist in the prevalence of hypertension by age and sex but that race differences are much less than previously reported for United States populations. Differences were also found between men and women with respect to the patterns of treatment and control. Age differences in treatment and control are noted. The findings reported are based on a statewide probability sample for which the target population exceeded 2 million persons. Because of the complexity of sampling such a population an extensive discussion of the survey method is given.
