Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Campaigns to increase the medical and lay communities' awareness and understanding of the problems of unrecognized and untreated hypertension have led to a progressive decline in morbidity and mortality from hypertension-related diseases. While osteoporosis is also a community health problem, educational and awareness campaigns are still in their infancy and decades may pass before these result in a declining morbidity and mortality from osteoporosis. We identify areas where concepts learned from years of hypertension research might be applicable lo the study of osteoporosis as a community health problem and thereby lessen the time needed to effect a declining morbidity and mortality from osteoporosis. We discuss the importance of a more specific diagnostic classification and the implications of these concepts for clinical trial design.
