Abstract
To detect the prevalence of hypertension in an asymptomatic rural community from Central India, we screened 4045 subjects (2247 men and 1798 women) aged 20 and beyond. The prevalence of hypertension was 34.12 per thousand population, being higher in women (40.60 per thousand) than in men (28.92 per thousand). Level of physical activity, economic status, smoking and body mass index showed real association with hypertension.
