Abstract

CCHS is a longitudional epidemiological study of cardiovascular risk in a random population sample of both genders aged 20 and above from Copenhagen, Denmark. Blood pressure (BP) was measured by a standarized method (LSH Sphygmomanometer) during 3 cross sectional surveys: 1976–78 (n=14000), 1981–83 (n=12675) and 1991–94 (n=9661). During the observation period, considerable changes in life style reflecting in decreased risk factor levels occurred, while only small changes in BP levels were observed. Population Blood Pressure seems resistant to time and changes.
