Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants
2017, The LancetCitation Excerpt :This difference is largely because blood pressure in south Asia has increased since 2000, the reporting year of Lawes and colleagues' study; the difference might also be attributable to us having substantially more data from south Asia than Lawes and colleagues. The estimated decrease in blood pressure in high-income countries in our analysis is consistent with findings of country studies and the MONICA Project.15–34 Fewer studies have analysed blood pressure trends in low-income and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.
The combined effect on survival of four main behavioural risk factors for non-communicable diseases
2014, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Measurements included a health examination (body weight and height, blood pressure, blood lipids and other biological parameters) and a questionnaire (socio-demographic variables, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity and general eating patterns, dietary intake on the day preceding the examination and eating behavior). The Swiss MONICA study included the French- and Italian-speaking but not the German-speaking part of Switzerland, and it was conducted in three waves in 1984–1986, 1988–1989 and 1992–1993 (Wietlisbach, 1987; Wietlisbach et al., 1997). Again, measurements included a health examination and a self-administered questionnaire.
Impact of different domains of physical activity on cause-specific mortality: A longitudinal study
2014, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :The NRP 1A was conducted from 1977 to 1979 in the three main language regions of Switzerland based on a random sample of 4378 and a convenience sample of 3873 participants (Bopp et al., 2012). The Swiss MONICA study was conducted in the French and Italian speaking parts of Switzerland in three waves between 1984 and 1993 (Wietlisbach, 1987; Wietlisbach et al., 1997). Participants attended a health examination and completed a self-administered questionnaire.
