美国国家健康和营养监测调查报告显示,美国年轻人中只有4%的人有高血压,但北卡罗莱纳大学教堂山分校最近的研究与这个结论大相径庭。他们在美国《流行病学》公布的一份研究报告指出,美国成年人中可能有五分之一的人有高血压,高血压人群的数量比以往想像的要高。两份研究对高血压的定义相同。 The U.S. National Health and Nutrition Surveillance Survey reports that only 4% of young people in the United States have high blood pressure, but recent research by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is very different from this conclusion. In a research report published by the American “Epidemiology,” they pointed out that one in five adults in the United States may have hypertension, and the number of people with hypertension is higher than previously thought. The two studies have the same definition of hypertension.
