To assess the relationship of psychosocial variables to risk factors for hypertension in children, we administered instruments designed to measure aspects of children's personality, behavior, family environment and family social status to 1505 school children aged 7-10 years. Children's blood pressure was significantly related only to mother's occupation, the children of unskilled employees having higher blood pressure than children of higher status workers. Children's body mass index was directly related to scores on the conformity scale of the personality inventory and inversely related to scores on the intellectual-cultural orientation scale of the family environment instrument and to social class. Social status but not measured dimensions of children's personality, behavior and family environment may influence the risk of hypertension in children.
为评估心理社会变量与儿童高血压风险因素之间的关系，我们对1505名7至10岁的学童进行了旨在测量儿童个性、行为、家庭环境和家庭社会地位等方面的问卷调查。儿童血压仅与母亲的职业显著相关，非技术员工的子女血压高于地位较高员工的子女。儿童的体重指数与个性量表的从众性得分直接相关，与家庭环境量表的智力文化取向得分及社会阶层得分呈负相关。社会地位而非儿童个性、行为和家庭环境的测量维度可能会影响儿童患高血压的风险。
