Popis: | A study of a population sample of urban Zulu adults in Durban, South Africa, revealed a high prevalence of hypertension. Mean blood pressures tended to be similar to those of Negroes of the United States and higher than those of whites of the United States. In both sexes, levels of mean blood pressure rose with age; this rise appeared earlier in women than in men. |
