Figure 1: Prevalence of hypertension in the province of Ontario from 1995 to 2005. We used a logistic regression model to adjust for age, sex, residence location (urban v. rural), socioeconomic status, presence of diabetes, 5-year history of cardiovascular disease, Charlson Comorbidity Index score, and interaction terms between age and sex. Yearly rates are based on prevalence as of Mar. 31 of each year. Results of the Pearson correlation test p < 0.001.
Figure 2: Incidence of hypertension in the province of Ontario from 1997 to 2004. We used a logistic regression model to adjust for age, sex, residence location (urban v. rural), socioeconomic status, presence of diabetes, 5-year history of cardiovascular disease, Charlson Comorbidity Index score, and interaction terms between age and sex. Yearly rates are based on prevalence as of Mar. 31 of each year. Results of the Pearson correlation test were p < 0.001 overall and for women and men aged 20–49 years, p = 0.007 for women aged 50 years and older and p = 0.001 for men aged 50 years and older.
