In view of recent interest in the relationship of haematocrit and blood viscosity to hypertension and vascular disease, we have analysed retrospectively the relationship of haematocrit to blood pressure, vascular complications and other variables in 2,381 patients referred to the Glasgow Blood Pressure Clinic. Haematocrit correlated negatively with age and systolic pressure in men, and positively with age and systolic pressure in females. Positive correlations were found in both sexes between haematocrit and serum alanine aminotransferase (possibly due to mutual correlation with alcohol); and between haematocrit and overweight (Quetelet Index) but not obesity (Ponderal Index). Increased haematocrit was also associated with cigarette smoking; and with history of angina, myocardial infarction and intermittent claudication in females. No correlation was observed between haematocrit and history of stroke. These findings suggest that prospective studies of haematocrit in hypertensives may be of interest.
鉴于近期对血细胞比容和血液粘度与高血压及血管疾病之间关系的关注，我们对转诊至格拉斯哥血压诊所的2381例患者的血细胞比容与血压、血管并发症及其他变量之间的关系进行了回顾性分析。在男性中，血细胞比容与年龄及收缩压呈负相关，而在女性中则与年龄及收缩压呈正相关。在两性中均发现血细胞比容与血清丙氨酸转氨酶呈正相关（可能是由于与酒精的相互关联）；血细胞比容与超重（奎特利指数）相关，但与肥胖（体重指数）无关。血细胞比容升高还与吸烟有关；在女性中还与心绞痛、心肌梗死和间歇性跛行病史有关。未观察到血细胞比容与中风病史之间的相关性。这些发现表明，对高血压患者的血细胞比容进行前瞻性研究可能会很有意义。
