title: [Secondary prophylaxis of arterial hypertension among an unorganized rural population and the means for increasing its effectiveness].
abstract: The program of arterial hypertension control has been implemented for 3 years among the nonorganized community in two rural districts of Andizhan Province of the Uzbek SSR. Of these, one was a district of intervention and the other one a reference district. It may be concluded as a result that awareness of the patients that they are afflicted with arterial hypertension rose from 40.4 to 83%, the treatment coverage from 19.4 to 66.8%, and the number of patients with favourable treatment results from 4 to 36.6%. During the 3 years, the total death rate, the mortality due to cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction and brain stroke appeared statistically less significant in the district of intervention as compared to the reference district. For successful prevention of arterial hypertension among the rural community it is necessary that paramedical personnel may be engaged in such activities on an ever increasing scale.
