Although hypertension is a prevalent condition among the elderly, little is known with respect to the influence of hypertension on oral health and function. Therefore a study was conducted that compared stimulated parotid salivary flow rates in elderly persons (65 years and older) from two diverse populations who are normotensive, mild, and severe hypertensive. The normotensive group consisted of 45 healthy subjects with systolic blood pressures of less than 140 mm Hg and diastolic pressures less than 90 mm Hg. The mildly hypertensive group consisted of 14 otherwise healthy subjects with either systolic pressures greater than 140 mm Hg or diastolic pressures greater than 90 mm Hg. The severely hypertensive group consisted of 10 otherwise healthy subjects with either systolic pressures greater than 180 mm Hg and/or diastolic pressures greater than 100 mm Hg. All three groups were not taking any prescription or nonprescription medications. Samples of 2% citrate-stimulated parotid saliva were collected from each subject. The results showed no significant differences in stimulated parotid flow between normotensive, mildly hypertensive, and severely hypertensive subjects. These results suggest that hypertension per se has no influence on stimulated parotid salivary gland flow rates in otherwise healthy, elderly unmedicated white and African-American persons.
尽管高血压在老年人中是一种普遍存在的疾病，但关于高血压对口腔健康和功能的影响却知之甚少。因此，开展了一项研究，比较了来自两个不同人群的老年人（65岁及以上）的刺激性腮腺唾液流速，这两个人群分别为血压正常者、轻度高血压患者和重度高血压患者。血压正常组由45名健康受试者组成，其收缩压低于140毫米汞柱，舒张压低于90毫米汞柱。轻度高血压组由14名其他方面健康的受试者组成，其收缩压大于140毫米汞柱或舒张压大于90毫米汞柱。重度高血压组由10名其他方面健康的受试者组成，其收缩压大于180毫米汞柱和/或舒张压大于100毫米汞柱。所有三组受试者均未服用任何处方药或非处方药。从每个受试者收集2%枸橼酸盐刺激的腮腺唾液样本。结果显示，血压正常者、轻度高血压患者和重度高血压患者之间的刺激性腮腺流速没有显著差异。这些结果表明，在其他方面健康、未用药的老年白人和非裔美国人中，高血压本身对刺激性腮腺唾液腺流速没有影响。
