TL;DRAbstract
Objective To investigate the changes of blood pressure (BP) levels of a general population in Chengdu, China from 1992 to 2007. Methods A baseline survey on CVD risk factors was carried out in a general population of Chengdu in 1992. A total of 1365 adults aged 35-64 years were recruited randomly. In 2007, 1061 0f the participants completed a follow up survey. Results ① The systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels increased with age in both men and women, and larger increase was found in older people. The diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels also increased with age, however, the smallest increase was found in the age group of 45 to 54 years. ② People of 50-64 years old in 2007 had higher SBP than those of the same age in 1992.Similar changes were also found for DBP in men, but not in women. ③ From 1992 to 2007, the prevalence of hypertension increased in all of the age group. s. The greater increase occurred in the younger population. ④ During the 15 years, the prevalence of hypertension
