Self-reported family history of hypertension in healthy middle-aged men
Sammanfattning
A self reported first-degree family history of hypertension was obtained by questionnaire in two consecutive subsample of middle-aged male attenders to a multiphased health screening program in Malmö. It is proposed that the findings may reflect an increased awareness, investigation, diagnosis and treatment of hypertension rather than the genetic occurrence of the disease per se in modern society.
