The relationship between blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors including obesity, smoking, Type A behavior, anger, stress, geographic mobility, and socioeconomic status was assessed in 173 black college freshmen ages 16-22. In comparison with the overall black population of the United States, these students were generally from better educated, relatively affluent, black families. Among women, body mass index was a positive, independent predictor of systolic blood pressure, whereas alcohol consumption and state anger were inverse, independent predictors. Geographic mobility was found to be a positive, independent predictor of diastolic blood pressure among women. Among men, body mass index and heart rate were independent, positive predictors of systolic blood pressure. This study demonstrates important correlations between biological and psychosocial factors and blood pressure in an understudied population.
对173名年龄在16至22岁之间的黑人大学新生的血压与心血管危险因素之间的关系进行了评估，这些危险因素包括肥胖、吸烟、A型行为、愤怒、压力、地域流动性和社会经济地位。与美国黑人总体人群相比，这些学生一般来自受教育程度较高、相对富裕的黑人家庭。在女性中，体重指数是收缩压的一个正向独立预测因素，而饮酒量和状态愤怒则是反向独立预测因素。研究发现地域流动性是女性舒张压的一个正向独立预测因素。在男性中，体重指数和心率是收缩压的独立正向预测因素。这项研究表明，在一个研究较少的人群中，生物因素和心理社会因素与血压之间存在重要关联。
