“…80 There are a very few studies from Asia, which have reported electrocardiographic changes in patients with hypertension in the population-based studies. 17,71,73 A low prevalence of electrocardiographic Q waves has been observed in two Indian studies which have reported on this finding indicating a lower incidence of arteriosclerosis. 17,73 It is possible that south Asian immigrants to developed countries may have a greater incidence of electrocardiographic changes, due to their increased susceptibility to insulin resistance 8,81 which may be decreased by a diet rich in n-3 fatty acids.…”

“…Only 46 (11%) of men and 44 (16%) of women hypertensives were aware of their condition in a study by Gupta et al 73 from Rajasthan, India. The Five City Study showed that the awareness was significantly less at Moradabad and Nagpur compared to Calcutta (12% and 14% vs 22%, P Ͻ 0.05) where it was comparable with Bombay (24%) and Trivandrum (26%).…”

Reliable statistics related to the prevalence, incidence and mortality of hypertension and stroke are not available from Asia. The data may be in national or institutional reports or journals published in the local language only. The mortality rate for stroke has been on the decline since the mid 1960s in the developed countries of Asia, such as Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, with some improvement in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, some areas of China and Malaysia about 15 years later. In India, China, Phillippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Iran, Pakistan, Nepal, there has been a rapid increase in stroke mortality and prevalence of hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension according to new criteria (Ͼ140/90 mm Hg) varies between 15-35% in urban adult populations of Asia. In rural populations, the prevalence is two to three times lower than in urban subjects.

“…This is similar to a study from Jaipur where 11% of male and 16% of female hypertensives were aware of their condition. 7 Higher awareness of hypertension has been reported from selected populations in Kerala 14 and among Parsis 3 in Mumbai. In community-dwelling elderly individuals in Kerala (n ¼ 357, mean age 70 years) hypertension was present in 51.8% subjects and 44.9% of these individuals were aware of their condition.…”

“…Apart from this 4.2% (n =1712) of the subjects showed the presence of slightly elevated BP. That the prevalence of HTN is high is highlighted by 2 studies-one in the urban population of north India where the prevalence was 31.5%, (13) and another in south Indian urban population, where the prevalence was 21.1% (14).…”

The central role of the laboratory scientist is to aid the clinician, in interpreting observed values, by providing relevant reference values in a convenient and practical form. In India, reference values used in laboratories have been established in the western population. But these can be questioned due to differences in genetic load, lifestyle, and diet. This review highlights the approach for establishing reference values in our population using the IFCC guidelines and our observations from our data as compared to the reported values in our laboratory.
