title: [The prevalence of arterial hypertension among the organized and unorganized male population based on cardiological screening data].
abstract: Cardiological screening for hypertension has been carried out in two population samples of males. The ordered samples consisted of workers and employees (a total of 1383 subjects) of two institutions. Of them workers made up 64.3%. A random male population comprised 2481 subjects. Of them 1188 (47.88%) were employees. The incidence of hypertension appeared much higher in the random population. It was specific for age and occupation. Hypertension occurred more frequently among workers than employees in both populations. The occurrence of hypertension was associated with body mass excess and age.
