In 1982, 4,474 noninstitutionalized residents of Connecticut who were 18 years or older were interviewed as part of the Connecticut High Blood Pressure Program. This cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of hypertension among the 2.1 million adults in the state. Spouse correlations for systolic and diastolic blood pressures were examined in 1,260 white spouse pairs. Upon demonstrating a significant correlation in blood pressure between spouses (r = 0.262 for systolic and 0.248 for diastolic, p less than 0.001), subsequent stepwise multiple regressions were used to determine which aspects of the shared marital environment might influence the spouse concordance. Variables related to each spouse as well as variables reflecting similarity between spouses were analyzed. When spouse concordance in blood pressure was examined controlling for age, obesity, dietary salt intake, socioeconomic status, income, education, occupation, smoking, and exercise of both spouses and similarities in these variables, the correlations between spouses' blood pressures remained significant.
1982年，作为康涅狄格州高血压项目的一部分，对该州4474名18岁及以上未住机构的居民进行了访谈。这项横断面研究旨在确定该州210万成年人中高血压的患病率。在1260对白人配偶中检查了收缩压和舒张压的配偶相关性。在证明配偶之间血压存在显著相关性后（收缩压r = 0.262，舒张压r = 0.248，p < 0.001），随后使用逐步多元回归来确定共享婚姻环境的哪些方面可能影响配偶一致性。分析了与每位配偶相关的变量以及反映配偶之间相似性的变量。当在控制配偶双方的年龄、肥胖、饮食盐摄入量、社会经济地位、收入、教育、职业、吸烟和运动以及这些变量的相似性的情况下检查配偶血压一致性时，配偶血压之间的相关性仍然显著。
