[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 3R0x9FSC. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Recent blood pressure trends reflect progress in hypertension control, but prevalent drug therapy precludes direct estimation of the component due to primary prevention. In data gathered on persons aged 35-74 years in three successive US health examination surveys (1960-1980), systolic blood pressure levels assuming no drug therapy were imputed by reassigning blood pressure to the upper end of the distribution for respondents reporting use of antihypertensive medication. Blood pressure was partitioned into four ordinal categories based on weighted percentiles of the 1960-1962 distributions for 35-to 44-year-old males and females who reported no use of antihypertensive medication. Cumulative logit models (alpha=0.01) were used to estimate age-and sex-specific trends for blacks and whites within two strata (
