The awareness rates,treatment  rates and control rates of hypertension in city and rural areas were 9.9%,7.4%,0.4%; 7.6%,5.0%,0.6%;respectively.The prevalence of hypertension was 44.5% in city,and 36.3% in cural,there was significant differences between city and rural areas (P<0.05).Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that the relative risks (95% confidence interval) of old age,male,centralobesity,drinking,famil
