| high blood pressure |
The force with which the blood pushes against the walls of the arteries is called blood pressure. In a normal adult, a blood pressure close to 120/80 mm Hg is considered to be normal. A person is considered to have prehypertension if the top blood pressure number is between 120 and 139 mm Hg or the bottom number is between 80 and 89 mm Hg. Pressure above 140/90 mm Hg is considered to be high.

| hip fracture |
This measure includes all persons ages 18 and older who broke their hip(s) and were treated in the hospital. Hip fracture usually occurs in the elderly who are then hospitalized. Frequently these patients suffer from chronic illnesses also. Although many people who die as a result of a hip fracture die within a year of their hip fracture, most of these deaths do not occur in the hospital. Deaths after leaving the hospital are not included in the mortality rates provided in these reports. Top
