[Multi-factor prevention in sanatoria: its effect on increased arterial pressure]

Multifactor prophylaxis of CHD and arterial hypertension was tried in 12 sanatoria in 1982 in the population of men aged 40 to 59 with initial arterial hypertension using a unified method. A significant hypotensive effect was achieved, mainly at the expense of the fact of rest itself under sanatorium conditions as a factor of isolation from stresses of everyday life. A raised level of physical activity played the most important role in preventive measures enhancing this effect.
