Data obtained from 10,975 Australian-born and 1,717 Italian-born subjects aged 30-69 years in one centre of the Australian National Blood Pressure Study revealed that the Italians had lower systolic and diastolic blood pressures compared with Australians of the same age and sex. The Italians' blood pressures rose in successive age groups and at the same rate as in the Australians. After the effect of age was eliminated, the duration of residence of the Italians in Australia had a small but significant association with their blood pressures, possibly indicating exposure to blood pressure-elevating environmental factors in Australia.
在澳大利亚国家血压研究的一个中心，从10975名30至69岁出生于澳大利亚的受试者和1717名出生于意大利的受试者那里获取的数据显示，与同龄同性别的澳大利亚人相比，意大利人的收缩压和舒张压更低。意大利人的血压在连续的年龄组中上升，且上升速度与澳大利亚人相同。在消除年龄影响后，意大利人在澳大利亚的居住时间与他们的血压存在微小但显著的关联，这可能表明他们在澳大利亚接触到了会使血压升高的环境因素。
