In 1973, standardized measurements of blood pressure (BP), height, and weight were obtained on all adolescents attending high school in a rural Kentucky county. In 1978, a 5-year follow-up BP study was undertaken of all adolescents who were 14-15 years old at the time of the initial survey (n = 310), and of selected 16-19 year olds who were in the high, intermediate, and low ranges of the initial sex-specific BP distributions (n = 198). Follow-up measurements included height, weight, and BP on all subjects and, in addition, overnight sodium (Na) excretion, serum cholesterol, glucose, triglyceride, and uric acid concentrations on the older group. Our findings indicate that BP in young adults is related to BP in adoleslcence, change in relative weight since adoleslcence, and current relative weight. Relative rank order of initial BP levels were maintained over the 5-year period in both the younger and older groups. Additional cardiovascular disease risk factors were found to cluster in young adults with high BP, and clustering of risk factors may, in part, be related to high relative weight.
1973年，对肯塔基州一个乡村县所有就读高中的青少年进行了血压（BP）、身高和体重的标准化测量。1978年，对初次调查时年龄在14至15岁的所有青少年（n = 310）以及初次特定性别血压分布处于高、中、低范围的部分16至19岁青少年（n = 198）进行了一项为期5年的血压随访研究。随访测量包括所有受试者的身高、体重和血压，此外，对年龄较大的组还测量了过夜钠（Na）排泄量、血清胆固醇、葡萄糖、甘油三酯和尿酸浓度。我们的研究结果表明，年轻人的血压与青少年时期的血压、自青少年时期以来相对体重的变化以及当前的相对体重有关。在5年期间，较年轻组和较年长组的初始血压水平相对排名顺序均得以维持。还发现其他心血管疾病危险因素在血压高的年轻人中聚集，危险因素的聚集可能部分与高相对体重有关。
