Prehypertension and heavy alcohol consumption increase the risk for primary hypertension (PH), a major predictor of cardiovascular-related morbidity and mortality. Although undergraduate college students have exhibited prehypertensive blood pressure (BP) levels and more than 40% of undergraduates drink heavily, few researchers have examined both risk factors in the university context. In this study, the authors collected BP and self-reported quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption data from 211 undergraduates (95 women). Logistic regression analyses showed that prehypertensive undergraduates (ie, those with systolic BP > or = 120 mm Hg or diastolic BP > or = 85 mm Hg) were nearly 4 times more likely to consume alcohol levels associated with increased risk for developing PH. Additional research on alcohol and PH among adolescents and undergraduates is needed, with particular reference to mechanisms and reducing the risk for morbidity and mortality emanating from cardiovascular disease.
高血压前期和大量饮酒会增加原发性高血压（PH）的风险，原发性高血压是心血管相关发病率和死亡率的主要预测指标。尽管大学生已出现高血压前期血压水平，且超过40%的大学生大量饮酒，但很少有研究人员在大学环境中同时考察这两个风险因素。在本研究中，作者收集了211名大学生（95名女性）的血压以及自我报告的饮酒量和饮酒频率数据。逻辑回归分析表明，高血压前期的大学生（即收缩压≥120毫米汞柱或舒张压≥85毫米汞柱者）饮用与患原发性高血压风险增加相关酒精量的可能性几乎是其他人的4倍。需要针对青少年和大学生开展更多关于酒精与原发性高血压的研究，尤其要关注其机制以及降低心血管疾病引发的发病和死亡风险。
