Previous analysis based on data derived from a prevalence study of hypertension among workers in different economic activities in the Greater Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, Brazil, have shown separate effects of biologic and social attributes on diastolic blood pressure levels (DBP). The present paper explores joint effects of sociodemographic, anthropometric, and behavioral characteristics on blood pressure levels. For that purpose, the Morgan-Sonquist procedure on interaction effects in the prediction of DBP levels was used. Six independent variables emerged as predictors: age, Quetelet index, occupation, schooling years, subsector of the economy, and smoking. Very young and lean women who were also smokers had the lowest mean DBP levels (66.1 mm Hg). Young, overweight women without college education showed intermediate levels (71.5 mm Hg). Highest levels were found among older women in production-linked occupations engaged in transportation and metallurgy activities (89.5 mm Hg). The study suggests that the potential role of work-related characteristics on blood pressure levels is greatest among older women.
此前基于巴西圣保罗大都市区不同经济活动中工人高血压患病率研究数据所做的分析表明，生物学和社会属性对舒张压水平（DBP）有不同影响。本文探讨社会人口学、人体测量学和行为特征对血压水平的联合影响。为此，采用摩根 - 桑奎斯特程序来分析预测DBP水平时的交互作用。有六个自变量成为预测因素：年龄、奎特莱指数、职业、受教育年限、经济子部门和吸烟情况。非常年轻且瘦的吸烟女性平均DBP水平最低（66.1毫米汞柱）。年轻、超重且未受过大学教育的女性血压水平处于中等（71.5毫米汞柱）。血压水平最高的是从事运输和冶金活动的与生产相关职业的老年女性（89.5毫米汞柱）。该研究表明，与工作相关的特征对血压水平的潜在影响在老年女性中最为显著。
