In the current study we evaluated individual characteristics that are assumed to influence the adequate treatment and control of hypertension and dyslipidemia and aimed to identify the patient group with the most urgent need for improved health care. Methods: The analysis was based on the DIAB-CORE project in which cross-sectional data from five regional population-based studies and one nationwide German study, conducted between 1997 and 2006, were pooled. We compared the frequencies of socio-economic and lifestyle factors along with comorbidities in hypertensive participants with or without the blood pressure target of  KW - Type 2 Diabetes KW - Hypertension KW - Dyslipidemia KW - Adherence to guidelines KW - Comorbidities KW - Sex differences KW - 610 Medizin PY - 2012 LA - eng PB - Robert Koch-Institut, Epidemiologie und Gesundheitsberichterstattung VL - 11 IS - 120 DO - 10.1186/1475-2840-11-120 ER -
