我们在一项基于人群的横断面调查中确定了巴勒斯坦成年人高血压的患病率和高血压的知晓、治疗和控制水平。采用两阶段分层抽样方法，从25岁及以上的普通人群中抽取2077名参与者。经过培训的观察员在静坐休息5分钟后，使用标准化水银血压计测量每个人的两次血压（BP）。社会地理因素和抗高血压药物的信息通过标准问卷获得。高血压定义为平均收缩压（SBP）≥ 140 mm Hg，舒张压（DBP）≥ 90 mm Hg，和/或使用抗高血压药物。高血压的总患病率为27.6%，男性的患病率更高（29.2%对26.4%; P = 0.04）。男性和女性的高血压都随着年龄的增长而增加。在高血压患者中，51.0%的人知道自己的血压升高，40.2%的人接受了治疗，只有9.5%的人达到了目标血压控制（
We determined the prevalence of hypertension and the level of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension among Palestinian adults in a population-based cross-sectional survey. Two-stage stratified sampling method was used to select 2077 participants from the general population aged 25 years and over. Trained observers obtained two blood pressure (BP) measurements from each individual by the use of a standardized mercury sphygmomanometer after a 5-min sitting rest. Information on sociogeographical factors and antihypertensive medications was obtained using a standard questionnaire. Hypertension was defined as a mean systolic BP (SBP) >= 140 mm Hg, diastolic BP (DBP) >= 90 mm Hg, and/or use of antihypertensive medications. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 27.6%, with a higher percentage among men (29.2 vs 26.4%; P = 0.04). Hypertension increased with age in both men and women. Among hypertensive patients, 51.0% were aware of their elevated BP, 40.2% had treatment and only 9.5% achieved targeted BP control (
