Conducting a program on prophylaxis of arterial hypertension among automobile transport workers, the researchers revealed higher blood pressure among 22.6% of the examines. Prophylactic measures during 5 years induced decrease in prevalence of arterial hypertension from 23.6% to 13.7% among the exposed group members, whereas the reference group members demonstrated increase of the parameter from 21.5% to 34.3%.
