Determinants of arterial hypertension in Croatian cohort of general adults: EHUH 2 study
Based on our results, we can recommend in low-medium-income countries like Croatia tailor screening programs for hypertension not only for individuals with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, or obesity but also for those with low socioeconomic status and rural residents. We can suggest that two low-cost methods, sodium-to-potassium ratio and ePWV, become a regular routine part of these screening programs. In smoking cessation programs, smokers should be educated how to quit smoking, but also how to live healthier.
