Description:POPULATION-BASED DATA ON HYPERTENSION IN HAWAII are limited. Two groups for which data from the 1980s exist are Japanese-American men ages 60 to 81 in the Honolulu Heart Program (HHP) and native Hawaiians ages 20 to 59 in the Molokai Heart Study (MHS). In the elderly HHP men, the mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was higher and the mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was lower in the older age groups. In the MHS, both the mean SBP and the mean DBP were higher with increasing age in both sexes. Among Japanese-American men, 53% of those ages 60 to 64 were hypertensive (SBP greater than or equal to 140 mmHg or DBP greater than or equal to 90 mmHg, or taking antihypertensive medications), as were 59% of those ages 65 to 74, and 67% of those ages 75 to 81. Among native Hawaiians, 6% of men and 8% of women ages 20 to 24 were hypertensive, as were 37% of men and 41% of women ages 45 to 54. At ages 55 to 59 the prevalence for men was 31%; and for women, 33%. These data indicate that hypertension is relatively common in both ethnic groups; however, native Hawaiians appear to be at greater risk of cardiovascular disease overall.
