Sammanfattning
This report on "high" blood pressure and "borderline high" blood pressure is based on a cross-sectional study in a rural Swedish county. The study was initiated in the Spring of 1977, selecting 7 986 individuals aged 25-75 years, in 5-year intervals, in the 16 municipalities of Skaraborg County. A combination of health examination and a survey using polling of the population by interview was used. Significant differences between socioeconomic groups existed even after adjustment for age, sex, weight index, smoking and treatment of hypertension.
