摘要：Aim of this study was to investigate association of controlled and uncontrolled hypertension with angina pectoris, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal cerebrovascular insult on a cohort from Croatian Adult Health Cohort Study (CroHort). Odds for angina pectoris, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal cerebrovascular insult were calculated for 227 respondents with controlled hypertension and 1,287 respondents with uncontrolled hypertension compared to 1,353 normotensive respondents. The results showed that among men uncontrolled hypertension was significantly associated with risk of non-fatal stroke, while among women no significant associations were recorded. Primary and secondary prevention of hypertension should be public health priority and would contribute to reducing the risk of stroke in Croatian population.
