[Epidemiological analysis of the correlations between selected individual characteristics of patients with primary arterial hypertension].
The purpose of the study was to find the correlations and to evaluate their strength between the progression of hypertension and age, sex, time between the diagnosis of hypertension and the beginning of treatment, body weight and other characteristics. The study was carried out in the population of patients treated in the Cardiology Department, Medical Academy in Lublin in the period 1981-1984. The computer-assisted analysis of the obtained material was carried out in the Department of Epidemiology, Medical Academy in Lublin. The studied population comprised 320 patients with essential hypertension.
