Factors Associated with Changes in Body Weight during a Five-Year Follow-Up of a Population with High Blood Pressure
In 1972 a cardiovascular disease prevention programme was started in North Karelia in Eastern Finland. At the outset of the programme a random sample comprising 10 940 persons aged 25 to 59 years was studied. Those subjects whose systolic blood pressure was ≥175 and/or diastolic ≥100 mmHg or who wer...

In 1972 a cardiovascular disease prevention programme was started in North Karelia in Eastern Finland. At the outset of the programme a random sample comprising 10 940 persons aged 25 to 59 years was studied. Those subjects whose systolic blood pressure was ≥175 and/or diastolic ≥100 mmHg or who were undergoing antihypertensive treatment, were re-examined in 1977. Their body weight was measured both in 1972 and 1977. The changes in their physical activity, smoking and eating habits were also interviewed. The men aged 25 to 49 years had increased their body mass index by 0.4 kg/m 2 and the men aged 50 to 59 years by 0.2 kg/m 2 , on average.
