title: [Study of hypertension in the Ivory Coast urban milieu].
abstract: The authors carried out a sample survey in the town of Abidjan to rate high blood-pressure in adult. They evaluate the prevalence rate of high blood-pressure at 13.4%. In this study one may consider as a risk factor: age, obesity, illiteracy, either in isolation and as a matter of course the three together. The role of age as confounding factor appears essential in pluri-factorial analysis and has to be systematically taken into account at the occasion of further studies.
