A Comparison of Results of a National Cholesterol and Blood Pressure Screening with the NHANES II Study: Implications for Further Emphasis on Reducing Cardiovascular Risk among Americans.

Fridinger, Frederick W.; And Others

Journal of Community Health, v17 n4 p247-57 Aug 1992

Findings suggest the levels may not have decreased appreciably over 10 years; and continued national, state, and local behavior modification efforts are warranted. (SM)
