aAge adjusted prevalence of hypertension by the direct method to the year 2010 Census population.

bThe prevalence based on one-visit strategy = (the population of hypertension based on one-visit strategy/all the population in 2006)

cThe prevalence based on two-visit strategy = (the population of hypertension based on two-visit strategy/all the population in 2006)

dThe prevalence based on two-visit strategy = (the population of hypertension based on two-visit strategy + the lost population based on two-visit strategy)/all the population in 2006
