Abstract:
500 medical records of hypertension were reviewed retrospectively aimed to investigate the hypertensive level by sex and age, incidence of cerebral and cardiac complications. Level of awareness was measured primarily, and treatments for hypertensive patients with complications were followed-up. The results showed that most of patients were farmers. Awareness in precursors of hypertension as well as in monitoring and control the blood pressure is poor. Rate of hypertension with cardiac and cerebral complications is higher in men than in women. There are differences in blood pressure between age groups; however, the correlation between blood pressure and age is weak and insignificant
