Original language description
Hypertension increases the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease and heart failure. Five independent cross-sectional surveys for cardiovascular risk factors have been conducted in the Czech Republic (1985, 1988, 1992, 1997/98 and 2000/01), always involving a representative population sample aged 25-64 years. Over a period of 15-16 years, there was a statistically significant downward trend in population mean systolic (from 133.6¡20.2 to 128.8¡18.1 mmHg; pv0.001) and diastolic (from 84.1¡11.3 to 81.4¡10.0 mmHg; pv0.001) blood pressure (BP). There was also a significant decrease in the prevalence of hypertension in both sexes (from 51.9% to 45.6% in men; pv0.001; from 42.5% to 33.0% in women; pv0.001). Awareness of hypertension increased in both sexes, showing higher rates for females (men from 41.4% to 62.1%; pv0.001; women from 58.9% to 73.8%; pv0.001). Hypertension control improved significantly over the period of 15/16 years (from
