The author is of the opinion that(1) blood pressure'is a disease of adults(2) the causes of hypertension are not yet known(3) familial history is of little help to diagnose

G) further epidemiological studies have not revealed

The origins of hypertension can be traced to(1) 15 years of age or older population

(2) children of 2 to L4 years only

(3) the first'few months after birth(4) 40 years and above

(2) population of lE years and older

€) only those who had s5rmptoms of hypertension

(4) children of 2 years to 4 years
