Efficacy of multidisciplinary epidemiological screening in the primary prevention of essential arterial hypertension.

An epidemiological screening of 8011 industrial workers and 7090 pupils made possible the active detection of some risk factors carriers and of those individuals with borderline essential arterial hypertension (BEAHT) and essential arterial hypertension disease (EAHTD). It was noticed that the association of 2-4 risk factors is more common in the subjects with BEAHT or EAHTD, fact indicating their increased aggressivity in the various types of associations present in the same carrier. In the worker series a prevalence of 16.2%-18.0% for BEAHT and 6.3%-7.1% for EAHTD as compared to 4.3%-6.0% and 4.9%-5.3%, respectively, in the pupil series were recorded. The epidemiological screening had a strong educational effect, reflected in an increased cooperation of the screened population, and revealed the fact that the risk factor carrier state and the increased arterial pressure levels were ignored, at long term, by 50-90% of the investigated subjects.
