title: [Incidence of hypertension among the rural residents of the North Bukovina region].
abstract: The valid data on the prevalence of hypertensive disease can be obtained only on the basis of follow-up statistics, i.e. comprehensively using the referral method and results of medical examinations among large population groups (at least 200,000 inhabitants). The essence of the method used by us for examining the prevalence of hypertensive disease among rural inhabitants is the in-depth study of the referrals according to the data on complete registration of patient populations irrespective of the duration of a disease and methods of detection, including those who did not apply for medical aid in the remission period. The approach permitted us to obtain valid data on the prevalence of hypertensive disease among a rural population.
