But there was no difference in sex, age as well as blood pressure. In the aspect of knowledge, the awareness rate of simple diagnosis standard of hypertension in Chongwen group was higher than that in Shijingshan group. Whereas the awareness rate about hypertension leading to ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke is opposite. In the aspect of attitude and practice, the subjects who thought it necessary to often measure blood pressure were both more than 80% in two groups. The subjects who had ever examined blood pressure in two groups both achieved 90%, but it was higher in Shijingshan group than that in Chongwen group. Hypertension patients accepting antihypertensive treatment in two groups were more than 85%.Conclusion Due to high prevalence of hypertension in aged ≥ 50 of community population, it’s necessary to further improve the health education about prevention of hypertension and stroke.
