背景资料：方法：2004-2006年，采用多阶段整群抽样的方法，选取具有代表性的样本，对辽宁省农村成年人高血压前期和高血压的患病率进行调查。共有45925名35岁或以上的成年人接受了检查。两个血压测量值由训练有素的观察员通过使用标准化的电子血压计后，5分钟的坐姿休息。高血压史的信息是通过使用一个标准的questionnaire.Results：总体而言，高血压前期的患病率为44.1%，男性48.7%，女性39.6%。高血压患病率为37.8%;男性为37.0%，女性为38.6%。在高血压患者中，只有29.5%的患者知道自己的高血压，23.6%的患者正在服用降压药物，1.1%的患者血压得到控制。高血压患者知晓、治疗和控制的比例低得令人无法接受。这些结果强调迫切需要制定策略，以改善中国农村地区高血压的预防，检测和治疗。
Background: The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension in the rural adults of Liaoning province of China.Methods: The study was conducted in 2004-2006, using a multistage cluster sampling method to select a representative sample. A total of 45925 adults, 35 years or older, were examined. Two blood pressure measurements were obtained by trained observers by use of a standardized electric sphygmomanometer after a 5-min sitting rest. Information on the history of hypertension was obtained by use of a standard questionnaire.Results: Overall, the prevalence of prehypertension was 44.1%; for men 48.7 and women 39.6%. The prevalence of hypertension was 37.8%; for men 37.0 and women 38.6%. Among hypertensive patients, only 29.5% patients were aware of their high blood pressure, 23.6% patients were taking antihypertensive medication, and 1.1% patients achieved blood pressure control.Conclusions: Prehypertension and hypertension are highly prevalent in rural areas of China. The percentage of those with hypertension who are aware, treated, and controlled are unacceptably low. These results underscore the urgent need to develop strategies to improve prevention, detection, and treatment of hypertension in rural areas of China.
