Cardiovascular community control programs in Beijing.
Cardiovascular community control program in Beijing started in 1969. In the past 20 years, eleven such programs had been established, covering a total population of 750,000. For those programs that have been operating for over 5-10 years, a marked drop in the mortality and morbidity rates of hypertension, stroke and acute myocardial infarction has been observed. It is proposed that this type of community control program should be further expanded in the next ten years so as to materialize the WHO goal of "Health for all by 2000".
