The blood pressures of 394 rural Black South African children were recorded and compared with existing records on the blood pressures of Black and White American children. It was found that the blood pressures of these rural Blacks were not significantly different from those of the American Negroes, but that they were higher than those of the White children. If blood pressure readings in the children of a population are a good predictor of future hypertension among the adults of that population, then the rural South African Black population will increasingly suffer from hypertensive disease.
记录了394名南非农村黑人儿童的血压，并与美国黑人和白人儿童的现有血压记录进行了比较。结果发现，这些农村黑人的血压与美国黑人的血压没有显著差异，但高于白人儿童的血压。如果一个人群中儿童的血压读数是该人群中成年人未来患高血压的良好预测指标，那么南非农村黑人人口将越来越多地遭受高血压疾病的困扰。
