To evaluate adverse reactions in the treatment of hypertension correctly, it is important to know the symptom profile of hypertensives per se. In the present study, a random sample of 60-year-old men, untreated for hypertension, was studied. The concept of the quality of life has largely been based on data obtained from the self-recording of subjective symptoms. Subjective symptoms were recorded by means of a self-administered questionnaire, "The Göteborg Quality of Life Instrument", which includes 30 items. Nine of the symptoms were found to be correlated to blood pressure. When the effect of confounding factors, such as smoking habits and situation at work was taken into account, seven symptoms remained. Most of the symptoms that were correlated to blood pressure may be regarded as related to aetiological factors rather than caused by the blood pressure.
为了正确评估高血压治疗中的不良反应，了解高血压患者本身的症状特征很重要。在本研究中，对一组未经治疗的60岁男性高血压患者进行了随机抽样研究。生活质量的概念很大程度上基于主观症状自我记录所获得的数据。主观症状通过一份自行填写的问卷《哥德堡生活质量量表》进行记录，该量表包含30个项目。其中9种症状被发现与血压相关。当考虑到吸烟习惯和工作状况等混杂因素的影响时，仍有7种症状存在。大多数与血压相关的症状可能被视为与病因因素有关，而非由血压本身引起。
