324 normo- and hypertensive subjects were investigated for neurotic symptoms during outpatient screening for arterial hypertension. The patients were randomly selected and subdivided into three groups: 'new' hypertensives, 'old' hypertensives and normotensives. Neurotic symptoms were evaluated using the Kellner and Sheffield Symptom Rating Test. The mean values thus obtained were adjusted using covariance analysis, with age and sex as the covariants. The 'new' hypertensives scored significantly lower for total neuroticism, depression and inadequacy than the normotensives. They also differed from the 'old' hypertensives, scoring significantly lower for total neuroticism, anxiety, somatization and inadequacy. However, no differences were revealed between the 'old' hypertensives and the normotensives. The significance and implications of these psychological differences are discussed.
在对动脉高血压患者进行门诊筛查期间，对324名血压正常和高血压患者的神经症症状进行了调查。患者被随机选取并分为三组：“新”高血压患者、“老”高血压患者和血压正常者。使用凯尔纳和谢菲尔德症状评定测试对神经症症状进行评估。以年龄和性别作为协变量，对由此获得的平均值进行协方差分析调整。“新”高血压患者在总的神经质、抑郁和不适当性方面的得分显著低于血压正常者。他们也与“老”高血压患者不同，在总的神经质、焦虑、躯体化和不适当性方面的得分显著更低。然而，“老”高血压患者和血压正常者之间未发现差异。文中讨论了这些心理差异的意义和影响。
