Blood pressure measurements recorded during the medical Research Council's treatment trial for mild hypertension have been analysed according to the calendar month in which the readings were made. For each age, sex, and treatment group systolic and diastolic pressures were higher in winter than in summer. The seasonal variation in blood pressure was greater in older than in younger subjects and was highly significantly related to maximum and minimum daily air temperature measurements but not to rainfall.
医学研究委员会针对轻度高血压的治疗试验期间记录的血压测量值,已根据测量读数所在的日历月份进行了分析。对于每个年龄、性别和治疗组,冬季的收缩压和舒张压均高于夏季。老年受试者的血压季节性变化大于年轻受试者,并且与每日最高和最低气温测量值高度显著相关,但与降雨量无关。
