“…10 One recent survey revealed that people with less physical activity had higher blood pressure, 33 and our study confirmed this finding. As most people in the Chinese rural area do not engage in regular physical activity during their leisure time, only work-related physical activity was assessed in this study.…”

“…Although the latest rate of hypertension treatment obtained in this study was higher than that in the Chinese national survey in 2002 (18.7%) 7 and that in a northeast rural area in China (19.8%), 10 it is still lower than those reported for the United States and Europe (43.0-61.4%). 3,4,28 It is noteworthy that the hypertension treatment rate did not improve from 2002 to 2007, meaning that more than 60% patients with hypertension did not receive any treatment.…”

“…However, the prevalence of hypertension showed a gradual decrease from the north to the south. Thus, the prevalence of hypertension (30.6%) reported in this study was higher than that in the southern area (from 16.0 to 23.3%), 11,12 but similar to that in the northeastern area (from 33.8 to 36.2%) 10,12 of China. In contrast, studies conducted in Europe showed reduced blood pressure over the past two decades, 3,5 whereas studies from the United States found a decreasing trend in the prevalence of hypertension before 1990, with a rise in recent years.…”

“…Similar to the rate of hypertension awareness, the rate of hypertension treatment tended to increase with increased age in both men and women, but was consistently higher in women than in men in all three surveys (10 Figure 2). After adjustment by age and sex, the rate of treatment for hypertension increased from 8.9% in 1991 to 38.8% in 2002 and 38.3% in 2007 (both Po0.01, Figure 2).…”

“…[6][7][8] Recently some investigators have reported the prevalence and the rates of hypertension awareness, treatment and control in several Chinese populations. 7,[9][10][11] However, owing to the large variation in geographical characteristics, dietary patterns, local lifestyles, income, education levels and health care in different regions of China, the prevalence and the rates of hypertension awareness, treatment and control in different studies may differ widely. 12 Shandong Province is located in the east of China with the rural population accounting for 56% of the total population.…”

Shandong Province is located in the east of China. The province is characterized by robust economic development, with a rural population accounting for 56% of the total population. However, no data are available regarding temporal changes in the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension among this population. Three independent cross-sectional surveys were performed in 1991 (n¼8359), 2002 (n¼18922) and 2007 (n¼20167) in the rural area population, aged 35-74 years. The sampling included a survey on blood pressure and associated risk factors. Although the rate of smoking and alcohol consumption decreased significantly from 1991 to 2007, the prevalence of overweight and obesity increased, whereas that of high-strength physical activity decreased remarkably. In 1991, 2002 and 2007, the prevalence of prehypertension was 33.8, 61.5 and 54.6%, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension was 20.4, 24.5 and 30.6%, respectively. Overall, the rate of hypertension awareness, treatment and control showed a steady increase over the 16-year period, although the control rate of hypertension is still far from being satisfactory. In conclusion, among the Chinese rural population, the prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension increased significantly from 1991 to 2007. Public health programs are required to improve this situation in Chinese rural populations.

A Review of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Combination Amlodipine/Valsartan in Non-White Patients with Hypertension

This article discusses racial/ethnic disparities in hypertension, with particular focus on non-white populations including blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asians. Hypertension and its related morbidity and mortality affect a disproportionate number of black patients compared with white patients. Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asians have poor rates of hypertension awareness, treatment, and control. Given the high prevalence of comorbidities (e.g., obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome) in these populations, renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system blockers are a good choice for foundation therapy. This review also discusses the importance of adherence and persistence with antihypertensive medication, which remain suboptimal in these non-white populations. Evidence suggests improvement with the use of single-pill combination therapy. Lastly, clinical trial data on the antihypertensive efficacy and safety of the combination of a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker and an angiotensin receptor blocker, a widely utilized combination, in non-white populations are presented. PubMed was searched using the title/abstract key words (amlodipine AND valsartan AND [hypertension OR hypertensive] AND [black(s) OR African American(s) OR Hispanic(s) OR Latino(s) OR Mexican(s) OR Asian(s)]). In total, eight studies in patients with stage 1 or 2 hypertension were identified (n = 1,111 black, n = 389 Hispanic/Latino, and n = 3,094 Asian). Results showed that treatment with the combination of amlodipine plus valsartan is a reasonable choice for initial therapy or in patients who fail to respond to monotherapy. These drug classes have complementary mechanisms of action and, when used concomitantly, the magnitude of blood pressure lowering in these non-white populations is generally comparable with that seen in non-Hispanic white patients.
