A door-to-door investigation of casual blood pressure (BP) was carried out in 1325 adults in an Indian rural community to study its distribution and the influence on BP levels of some correlative factors--namely, age, sex, weight, build, and socioeconomic status. Systolic and diastolic levels of BP rose with increasing age, weight, and build. However, the socioeconomic status of respondents did not significantly influence their BP levels. After the age of 40, women had considerably higher levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) than men. Evidence was found of multimodality, espically in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) distributions. The need is emphasised for an extensive investigation to obtain more accurate and generalised results, utilising the technique of blood pressure measurement recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO, 1959).
对印度一个农村社区的1325名成年人进行了上门随机血压调查,以研究血压分布以及年龄、性别、体重、体型和社会经济地位等相关因素对血压水平的影响。收缩压和舒张压水平随年龄、体重和体型的增加而升高。然而,受访者的社会经济地位对其血压水平没有显著影响。40岁以后,女性的收缩压水平明显高于男性。发现了多模态的证据,尤其是在舒张压分布方面。强调需要进行广泛调查,采用世界卫生组织(WHO,1959年)推荐的血压测量技术,以获得更准确和更具普遍性的结果。
