本研究描述了内城区老年人群与年轻高血压人群相比对高血压的认识和健康认知。老年非裔美国人样本的平均年龄为 71.6 岁，收缩压为 m-143 mm Hg SD= 21。年轻样本的平均收缩压读数较低 [m= 129 mm Hg SD= 20]。两组的总体健康认知都是积极的（64%）。超过60%的老年人被告知他们患有高血压。由于知晓高血压患者接受治疗的比例很高，因此干预措施的重点是治疗依从性。使用扩散模型、社区意识和提醒人们血压的策略是重点干预措施。
This study describes an inner-city elderly minority population's awareness of hypertension and health perception compared with that of a younger hypertensive population. The elderly African American sample had a mean age of 71.6 years and systolic blood pressure of m-143 mm Hg SD= 21. The younger sample averaged lower systolic readings [m= 129 mm Hg SD= 20). Overall health perception of both groups was positive (64%). Over 60% of the older people had been told that they were hypertensive. Because of the high percentage of aware hypertensive subjects on treatment, interventions focused on treatment adherence. Using the diffusion model, community awareness and strategies to remind people about their blood pressure were the focal interventions.
