Results:
Overall prevalence of hypertension amongst Mumbai executives was 26.86%. 21.28% of executives who were hypertensive based on causal reading were later found to have normal or high normal blood pressure.
Conclusion:
For all epidemiological surveys, blood pressure must be recorded on at least two subsequent occasions after initial screening.
