In this paper, the authors tried to establish the association of alcoholism with arterial hypertension as well as with risk factors for atherosclerosis, which are invariably accompanying arterial hypertension, in engine-room personnel (N = 80), in other seamen of the "Jugolinija" (N = 119), and in the control group which was made up of employees of the Technical Department, Shipyard, "3. maj", Rijeka (N = 108). The chi 2-test showed a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of alcoholism, and the t-test a statistically significant difference in the daily consumption of alcohol between the two groups of seamen and the control group. The prevalence of alcoholism and the daily consumption of alcohol were higher in seamen. There were no such differences between the two groups of seamen. Similarly, arterial hypertension was more prevalent and systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were higher in the two groups of seamen compared with the control group. Since, there were no significant linear correlations between the alcohol consumption and SBP and DBP, it could not be said that higher values of SBP and DBP were positively related to the greater consumption of alcohol in seamen as compared to the control group. No significant linear correlation was found between alcohol consumption and studied risk factors too. However, higher prevalence of arterial hypertension in alcoholics among the engine-room personnel suggested some association of the alcohol consumption with arterial hypertension.
在本文中，作者试图确定酗酒与动脉高血压以及动脉粥样硬化风险因素之间的关联，这些风险因素总是伴随着动脉高血压。研究对象包括轮机舱人员（N = 80）、“尤戈利尼亚号”的其他海员（N = 119）以及由里耶卡“5月3日”造船厂技术部员工组成的对照组（N = 108）。卡方检验显示两组海员与对照组之间在酗酒患病率上存在统计学显著差异，t检验显示两组海员与对照组之间在每日酒精摄入量上存在统计学显著差异。海员中酗酒患病率和每日酒精摄入量更高。两组海员之间不存在此类差异。同样，与对照组相比，两组海员中动脉高血压更为普遍，收缩压（SBP）和舒张压（DBP）更高。由于酒精摄入量与SBP和DBP之间不存在显著的线性相关性，所以不能说与对照组相比，海员中SBP和DBP的较高值与更多的酒精摄入量呈正相关。在酒精摄入量与所研究的风险因素之间也未发现显著的线性相关性。然而，轮机舱人员中酗酒者动脉高血压患病率较高，这表明酒精摄入量与动脉高血压之间存在某种关联。
