目的——估计美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民社区临床高血压的患病率并描述糖尿病的共存情况。研究设计和方法——对 IHS 机构一年内（1986 年 10 月 1 日至 1987 年 9 月 30 日）高血压和糖尿病门诊就诊的横断面研究进行了。结果——1987 年估计该组 15 岁以上人群的诊断高血压患病率为 10.9/100。百分之三十七的糖尿病患者被诊断患有高血压。在不同的 IHS 地区，糖尿病人群与非糖尿病人群相比，高血压的相对风险在 4.7 至 7.7 之间变化。结论——尽管美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民的糖尿病和肥胖率很高，但与美国其他族裔群体相比，高血压发病率相对较低。
OBJECTIVE— To estimate the prevalence of clinical hypertension and describe the coexistence with diabetes in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS— A cross-sectional study of outpatient visits for hypertension and diabetes over a 1-yr period (1 October 1986 to 30 September 1987) in IHS facilities was conducted. RESULTS— The 1987 estimated age-adjusted prevalence of diagnosed hypertension for this group was 10.9/100 for people ≥15 yr of age. Thirty-seven percent of diabetic patients were diagnosed with hypertension. The relative risk of hypertension in the diabetic populations compared with the nondiabetic population varied from 4.7 to 7.7 among the different IHS areas. CONCLUSIONS— Despite high rates of diabetes and obesity, hypertension rates were relatively low among American Indians and Alaska Natives when compared with other ethnic groups in the U.S.
