삼성생명의 지방을 비롯한 총 7개 의무실에서 1997년 11월 1일부터 11월 30일까지 동일 진단시에 5-10분 이상의 시간 간격을 두고 혈압측정을 2회 실시한 757예에 대해 측정치의 변화를 검토하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 진단시의 혈압은 1회 측정치 보다 2회 측정치가 낮게 나타났다. 2) 혈압치의 저하율은 조건체 상당의 혈압치를 나타낸 고혈압치군과 고연령층에서 높게 나타났다. 3) 고혈압치군 436예중에서는 170예(39.0%)가 무조건체로까지 혈압이 하강하였다. 4) 중증의 고혈압으로 보험가입이 거절된 27예의 경우는 현저한 혈압의 하강은 없었다. 이상의 결과로 진단시에 일정간격의 시간차를 둔 혈압의 재측정이 계약확대의 관점과 혈압측정의 정확성 측면에서 진사실무에 적용하는 것이 필요하다.

소아에서 혈압측정의 중요성이 강조되고 있기 때문에 일반소아를 다루는 의사들이나 학교신체검사에서 혈압측정을 반드시 포함시켜야 할것이다. 3세 이상이 되면 적어도 1년에 한번씩은 혈압측정을 받도록 권장되고 있다. 혈압측정시 정확한 낭대를 사용하도록 해야하며 시간간격을 두고 반복해서 3번이상 95퍼센타일이상의 혈압이 기록되면 고혈압이라 진단할수 있으며 소아고혈압의 감별진단을 위한 검사는 소아의 연령, 혈압의 심한정도등을 고려하여 단계별로 시행하여야 할것이다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of individual patient behavior regarding health and medical care level on doctor's diagnoses of hypertension. A X2-test was used to compare therapeutic compliance in individual characteristics and two-stage multilevel logistic regression to identify community variance of the related index of high blood pressure therapeutic compliance using data from 229,229 adults over the age of 19 in a community health survey conducted in 2010. The experience rate of doctors' diagnoses of hypertension was higher for people of older age, higher level of education, higher BMI, and among heavy drinkers (no recipients of basic living). Furthermore, there was a higher rate for those visiting health and medical institutions, having more frequent checks of blood pressure in a month, having a higher stress level, and having depression. Among paid workers, the ratio was lower for employers and owner/operators with more daily exercise (such as walking), infrequent smokers, and private health insurance holders. Doctor's diagnoses of hypertension was affected by individual health behavior and health and medical care level. Further studies employing multilevel analyses considering regional level data should be conducted in the future.

Purpose: With increasing prevalence of hypertension (HTN) in children and adolescent, pediatricians have become more interested in blood pressure (BP) measurements. The ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is known to be useful to differentiate true HTN and white coat HTN. The object of this study is to assess the clinical usefulness of ABPM in Korean children and adolescents. Methods: A retrospective review of 51 patients in Kyungpook National University Hospital from January 2002 to February 2010 was done. All patients were 6-18 years old and underwent ABPM. We calculated the mean value of ABP, BP load, nocturnal dip and compared the results with the patients' diagnosis and characteristics. Results: The mean age of the 51 patients was $17.8{\pm}1.8$ years and 19 children were obese. 37 patients (72.5%) were truly hypertensive and 1 patient was diagnosed as masked HTN and 7 children (14%) as white coat HTN. The rest of the patients were normotensive. Among patients with white coat HTN, 5 were in a prehypertensive state. Mean systolic and diastolic BP load of patients with true HTN were significantly higher than non-hypertensive children (P<0.001). Although the nocturnal dip of all patients were below 10%, there was no statistical significance. The obese patients showed higher systolic and diastolic BP. Their systolic and diastolic BP load were significantly higher than non-obese patients (P<0.001). Conclusion: ABPM in children and adolescents seems to be a valuable tool in the assessment of white coat HTN and in the confirmation of true HTN. A considerable number of white coat HTN patients are revealed to be in a prehypertensive state and need close follow-up.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the management behavior in patients with hypertension and diabetes through the total inspection of a specific rural area. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires from May 19th to September 21st in 2014. As the result, Among 355 (36.6%) patients who were diagnosed with hypertension, 337 (94.9%) were currently undergoing treatment, and among 109 (11.2%) patients who were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, 96 (80.1%) were currently undergoing treatment. Among the total of 211 people in hypertension potential risk group, 89 (42.2%) were diagnosed with hypertension, and among the total of 356 people in hypertension potential risk group, 78 (22.0%) were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. In conclusion, from the results of the analysis, we suggest that effective national strategies for prevention and management for patients with hypertension and diabetes should be established and implemented.

Various adult diseases (cerebral apoplexy, athymiait, etc.) result from hypertension, blood circulation disturbance and increment of HBP. In early diagnosis of these diseases, MRI, X-ray and PET have been used rather aim for treatment than for a prevention of disease. Since. cerebral apoplexy and athymiait could appear to the regular/irregular persons, it is very important to measure HBP which has connection with cerebral blood flow state. HBP has more diagnosis elements than that of BP. So, we can diagnose accurate hypertension by measuring of HBP. But, existing sphygmomanometers and automatic BP monitors can not measure HBP, and can not execute complex function(measuring of BP/HBP, blood flow improvement). Purpose of this paper is to develop a system and algorithm which can measure BP/HBP for accurate diagnosis. Also, we extracted diagnosis factors by correlativity analysis of BP/HBP. Maximum pressure of HBP corresponds to 62% that of BP, Minimum pressure of HBP corresponds to 46% that of BP. Therefore, we developed the multi-function automatic blood pressure monitor which can measure BP/HBP and improve cerebral blood flow state.

This study was conducted to identify the factors of hypertension treatment in Gwangju and to establish a hypertension cure rate management plan by using local community health surveys to provide the hypertension cure rate management plan centering around the wellness local community. The research collected 13,714 Gwangju research data among a total of 685,820 local community health surveys of KDCA (Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency) from 2017 to 2019. Among the data, 2,941 subjects, those with diagnosed hypertension aged over 30, were selected and analyzed through SAS 9.4, SAS Enterprise Miner 15.1. The results are as follows. The differences in hypertension diagnosis cure rate in Gwangju based on the subjects' socioeconomic characteristics were shown in gender, age, marital status, level of educational attainment, economic activity status, and monthly income. The significant differences in hypertension cure rate based on health behavior characteristics were shown in current smoking, monthly alcohol consumption, high-risk drinking, breakfast, recognition of good health level, diabetes and treatment, annual unmet medical needs, and annual health center use. As a result of the logistic regression analysis and interactive decision tree analysis to identify the factors affecting hypertension treatment, the research found that the factors that appear are age, marital status, diabetes and treatment, and annual unmet medical needs. Accordingly, to increase the recognition of the importance of hypertension treatment to people of young ages and not to develop complications, public health-educational effort in Gwangju is needed with an effective preparation plan.

The rise in chronic disease not only has a negative effect on people's lives, but it also increases the cost of medical care owing to the increased usage of medical care as health and medical technology improves, life expectancy rises, and rapid population ageing. In such context, this study examined the difference in the disease cost of hypertension according to demographic information and the effect of the initial diagnosis age and treatment period on the cost. This study used the Korean Health Panel Survey from 2010 to 2017, and selected subjects based on health insurance beneficiaries between the ages of 30 and under 80. With the selected data, the direct and indirect costs of disease loss were calculated according to the cost of illness approach, and we constructed a disease-loss ratio cohort considering the age of diagnosis and time of treatment for hypertension. From the results of the study, the annual cost of disease loss for hypertensive patients differed by gender by 110,107 won, and it was found that the cost increased by 1.8 times as the treatment time increased. In addition, when comparing disease loss ratios between the same age groups, it was found that the disease loss ratios between those in their 60s and 70s were affected by treatment time. This study confirmed that hypertension significantly affects the cost of the disease, and not only requires early diagnosis and management, but also preventive efforts to lower the incidence of hypertensive disease must be strengthened.
