To find the possible association between rural-urban migration and elevation of blood pressure a cross-sectional study was carried out with 379 subjects 40--59 years of age in rural areas of East Azarbaijan, northwest Iran. Another cross-sectional study was carried out in Teheran City in which 403 migrants from the same rural areas and also 357 non-migrant urban residents of the same age group from both sexes were examined. Comparison of the three groups showed that, in all age and sex groups, migrants had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure than did the people in the rural areas of origin. The blood pressure levels of migrants and non-migrants in the city were not much different from each other. The effect of other variables on the levels of blood pressure was investigated. Age, sex and body build (as measured by ponderal index) were also associated with blood pressure. None of these factors however explained the differences in blood pressure levels between rural-urban migrants and people in the rural areas of origin.
为了探究城乡迁移与血压升高之间可能存在的关联，在伊朗西北部东阿塞拜疆省农村地区对379名40至59岁的受试者进行了一项横断面研究。在德黑兰市开展了另一项横断面研究，对来自相同农村地区的403名移民以及来自同一年龄组的357名非移民城市居民（男女皆有）进行了检查。三组比较结果显示，在所有年龄和性别组中，移民的收缩压和舒张压均高于其原籍农村地区的人群。城市中移民和非移民的血压水平彼此差异不大。研究了其他变量对血压水平的影响。年龄、性别和体型（通过体质指数衡量）也与血压有关。然而，这些因素均无法解释城乡移民与原籍农村地区人群之间血压水平的差异。
