Skin color and social class have been suggested as reasons to explain the greater prevalence of hypertension in Blacks as compared to Whites. The presence of Duffy red blood cell proteins, a measure of "whiteness" in Blacks, was unrelated to the presence of elevated blood pressure in 722 Black hospital patients. The finding suggests that social class rather than skin color is associated with the greater prevalence of hypertension in Blacks.
肤色和社会阶层被认为是解释黑人高血压患病率高于白人的原因。达菲红细胞蛋白的存在是衡量黑人“白人化”程度的指标,在722名黑人住院患者中,它与血压升高无关。这一发现表明,与肤色相比,社会阶层与黑人高血压患病率较高有关。
