The study procedures and the results of blood pressure screening from 8 centres are reported. Data are also presented on age, sex, sexual maturity for girls, height, weight, Quetelet's index, smoking, and use of antihypertensive drugs for 92.1% of the 18 609 children born in 1964 in the 8 districts and surveyed in 1977. The girls who had reached sexual maturity had the highest means for blood pressure, height, weight, and Quetelet's index. The proportion of girls who had attained menarche differed geographically. Certain differences were found among the 8 centres in the variables measured, but when age-specific comparisons were made most of the differences in the variables disappeared. Nevertheless a lower systolic blood pressure and height and a higher pulse rate were observed in Havana, Cuba, than in the European cities. Using multivariate analysis, height, weight, pulse rate, age at survey, and sexual maturity together explained somewhat less than 20% and 10% of the variation of systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively. These screening data provide a baseline for a longitudinal study that will continue until 1982.
报告了来自8个中心的研究程序以及血压筛查结果。还给出了1964年出生于8个地区并于1977年接受调查的18609名儿童中92.1%的年龄、性别、女孩的性成熟度、身高、体重、克托莱指数、吸烟情况以及抗高血压药物使用情况的数据。性成熟的女孩在血压、身高、体重和克托莱指数方面均值最高。月经初潮女孩的比例存在地域差异。在测量的变量方面，8个中心之间存在某些差异，但在进行年龄特异性比较时，变量中的大多数差异消失了。然而，古巴哈瓦那的收缩压和身高低于欧洲城市，脉搏率则高于欧洲城市。使用多变量分析，身高、体重、脉搏率、调查时的年龄和性成熟度共同解释了收缩压和舒张压变化的比例分别略低于20%和10%。这些筛查数据为一项将持续到1982年的纵向研究提供了基线。
