Report says strokes
drop with pressure.

KUOPIO, Finland
(Reuter) — Doctors running
a big health project in east
Finland have noted a
‘marked drop in the number
of strokes following per-
sistent efforts to curb high
blood pressure throughout

the local population.

A senior researcher,
cautioning ihat the results
are still preliminary, says
‘improvements have also
‘been seen in the amount of
general heart trouble.

High blood pressure
Utypertension) has been
firmly linked to cardiac and
vascular diseases, which are
nmtoriously common in this
remote region where moat
people win a living from soil
or forest.

Originally thought to be an
ailment of technically ad-
vanced societies, hyper-
tension now has been
recorded worldwide in both
urban and rural commu-
nities.

In 1972, the World Health .

Organization (WHO)
branded it as one of the
major health risks and this
year made it the theme of
‘World Health Day.

To chart and combat the
situation here, Finnish
public and private
organizations have set up the
WHO-sponsored North
Karelia Project, whose
ultimate aims are to bring
about improved dietary and
life-style patterns.

Finland has thé highest in-
cidence of heart disease in
the world, and North Karelia
the highest in Finland.

Doctors have also traced

and treated hypertension,
using conventional drugs
and methods but helped by a
unique registration system
thal has enabled them to
supervise more than 17,000
middle-aged patients.

They have reported an 90-
percent return to normal
blood pressure in those
. patients.

They found hypertension
occurred in 45 per cent fewer
women, and 26 per cenit
fewer men, than it did five
years before—suggesting
they are well on the way to
tracing and treating almost
all the existing cases,

Most important, they have
also seen a 40-per-cent
decline in the number of
apoplectic strokes since 1972.
Strokes frequently have been
found to havea hypertension
background.

Senior researcher Jaakko
Tuomilehto cautions: “The
time is not yet ripe to draw

any final conclusions, but the -

drop in the number of.
strokes suggests thal
remarkable resulis have
been achieved in. North

Karelia through treatment |

for high blood pressure.”

He points out that: the.| |

stroke rate has dropped :
throughout the world in
recenl years, bul that the
decline elsewhere has been
slower,

The hypertension register ,

of the project has been built.

through regular examination -

of the entire middle-aged
population, at health centres
or during x-ray or other
public campalgns. = =i.

The improvement
promoted in treatment is
Striking.

“At the start of the North.
Karelia project only three
per cent of the middle-aged
men and nine per cent of the
middleaged women were
being medicated for
hypertension. The number
was gradually bruught up to
11 per cent of the men and 14 |
per cent of the women,”

Tuomilehte says the
project is also pushing ahead
with effurts to cul the need
