Mean of blood pressure in man (123.0/82.0 mmHg) was rather higher than that in woman (112.1/74.7 mmHg). 3) Prevalence of hypertension increased as getting older, prevalence of hypertension in man (11.1%: standardization rate 8.3%)was higher than in woman (1.4%: standardization rate 2.5%). 4) The mean of cholesterol in man was 185.7±39.1 mg/dl and that in woman was 165.9±32.9 mg/dl.
