    Hypertension or substantially elevated blood pres­sure is one of the more prevalent chronic conditions lmownto increase the risk ofdevelopingcirculatory diseases, particularly heart disease and stroke. Circulaory diseases are the leading cause of death and of hospitalization in the United States. This report presents national estimates for blood pressure levels, the prevalence of known and previously undiagnosed hyperten­ sion, and the extent of use of antihypertensive medication in the general U.S. population during the period 1976–80. The data are from the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which used a probability cross-sectional sample of the civilian non-institutionalized population ages 6–74 years in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. Trends since 1960 in the extent of treatment awareness, and control among those with hypertension are also shown. ; PMID: 10257286 ; ad084acc.pdf
