    To determine differences between the estimates of prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH), as measured by health professionals, and the self-reported awareness and control of AH by using ... antihypertensive drugs in the adult population of the Ljubljana area in Slovenia. In autumn/winter 2002/03, the Countrywide Integrated Noncommunicable Diseases Intervention (CINDI) Slovenia Unit performed its third cross-sectional health examination survey on cardiovascular risk factors. From a random population sample of adults aged 25to 64, 1,375 individuals responded to participate in the survey. Their bloodpressure (BP) was measured by health professionals. Also, the questionnaire on lifestyle was completed prior to the health examination, including questions on awareness and control of AH. All three basic elements of the AH prevalence observation were analyzed separately, and a complex indicator encompassing all three elements was derived. The differences in different population groups were observed. Results. An estimate of the prevalence of AH in the total sample, when taking into consideration only BP measurement, was 39.5%. When taking into consideration also the awareness and control of AH, it increased to 42.9%. The complex indicator encompassing all three basic elements ofAH measurement showed significant differences in all population groups (gender: p<0.001; age: p<0.001; education level: p<0.001; social class: p=0.001, and residence community; p=0.005). Our study confirmed the hypothesis of significant differences in estimates of prevalence, control and awareness of AH between observed population groups. It proved that more attention should be paid to males over 45 years of age, as well as those with lower education levels, classified in lower social classes, and living in suburban/rural areas.
