Standardized measurements of blood pressure, height and weight were obtained in 8-11 years old children, attending school in Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan. The sample consisted of 427 individuals (219 boys and 208 girls). The blood pressure was measured by auscultatory method. To calculate the body mass index (BMI), the weight (kg) of each subject was divided by the square of the subject's height. Association between various variables and blood pressure was judged through correlation coefficient. The net and joint effect of selected variables on blood pressure variability was calculated using simple/multiple regression. The correlation coefficients with that of systolic blood pressure were 0.365, 0.427 and 0.341 whereas these were 0.397, 0.430 and 0.320 for diastolic blood pressure. Height had a regression coefficient of 0.475 mmHg/cm with systolic pressure and 0.419 mmHg/cm with diastolic blood pressure. Weight had a regression coefficient of 0.878 mmHg/kg and 0.717 mmHg/kg with systolic and diastolic pressure respectively whereas BMI had a regression coefficient of 2.35 mmHg/BMI unit with systolic pressure and 1.79 mmHg/BMI unit with diastolic blood pressure.
在巴基斯坦俾路支省奎达市上学的8至11岁儿童中，进行了血压、身高和体重的标准化测量。样本包括427名个体（219名男孩和208名女孩）。通过听诊法测量血压。为计算体重指数（BMI），将每个受试者的体重（千克）除以其身高的平方。通过相关系数判断各种变量与血压之间的关联。使用简单/多元回归计算所选变量对血压变异性的净效应和联合效应。收缩压的相关系数分别为0.365、0.427和0.341，而舒张压的相关系数分别为0.397、0.430和0.320。身高与收缩压的回归系数为0.475 mmHg/cm，与舒张压的回归系数为0.419 mmHg/cm。体重与收缩压和舒张压的回归系数分别为0.878 mmHg/kg和0.717 mmHg/kg，而BMI与收缩压的回归系数为2.35 mmHg/BMI单位，与舒张压的回归系数为1.79 mmHg/BMI单位。
