Prevention of high blood pressure in whole communities is possible and an eating and activity pattern which is attractive and feasible can be proposed and modelled to different traditional cultures. Medical preventive strategies are proposed along with reasonable, practical, safe, feasible, credible community-based programmes as the main mode of dissemination. In such programmes, health professionals and medical services share roles with community leaders and organizations. A population strategy is essential to the primary prevention of hypertension. Further research is needed in prevention and health promotion methods.
