Methods for the 2 randomly selected 542 elderly Korean and Han nationalities in the questionnaires, and physical indicators and measurement of blood pressure, while fasting blood lipids and glucose. Results Korean and Han population smoking rates, overweight and obesity, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and other risk factors for hypertension in the distribution of differences (P lt;0.01, P lt;0.05). Hypertension in Korean men and women were significantly higher than Han (P lt;0.01). the Korean population in this region, men, older persons, obesity and hyperlipidemia, the risk of hypertension larger.
