Abstract
*Hypertension is a technical term for high blood pressure. Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart disease and the most important risk factor for stroke. A survey conducted in 2005 found that 28.8% of Australian adults over 25 years of age suffer from hypertension. The percentage of hypertensive adults in Australia was found to increase steeply with age, e.g. 44.7% for those aged 55-64 years and 67.4% for those aged 65-74 years.
