Percentage with measured hypertension, by type, sex and age group, household population aged 20 to 79 years, Canada, March 2007 to February 2009
| Sex and age group | Total | Isolated systolic hypertension (SBP higher than or equal to 140, DBP lower than 90 mm Hg) | Isolated diastolic hypertension (SBP lower than 140, DBP higher than or equal to 90 mm Hg) | Both systolic and diastolic hypertension (SBP higher than or equal to 140 and DBP higher than or equal to 90 mm Hg) | Any systolic hypertension (regardless of DBP) | Any diastolic hypertension DBP (regardless of SBP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 6.6 | 3.9 | 1.2E | 1.5E | 5.4 | 2.7 |
| Sex | ||||||
| Male† | 6.6 | 3.2 | 1.7E | 1.7E | 4.8 | 3.4 |

| † reference category * significantly different from estimate for reference category (p<0.05) E interpret with caution (coefficient of variation 16.6% to 33.3%) F too unreliable to be reported (coefficient of variation greater than 33.3%) Note: Total is sum of estimates for isolated elevated SBP, isolated elevated DBP and both elevated SBP and DBP.
