Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the relative risk of hypertension in African American women with type A behaviour pattern. Of the 305 employed African American women, 147 (48.2%) were classified as type A and 158 (51.8%) as type B. The logistic regression procedure was used to calculate the adjusted relative risk of having an elevated SBP by controlling for age, weight and cholesterol. We found that the adjusted relative risk of type A African American women having an elevated SBP and DBP was 9.06 and 2.26 times that of type B, respectively.

摘要

本研究的目的是确定具有A型行为模式的非裔美国女性患高血压的相对风险。在305名就业的非裔美国女性中，147名（48.2%）被归类为A型，158名（51.8%）为B型。采用逻辑回归程序，通过控制年龄、体重和胆固醇来计算收缩压升高的调整后相对风险。我们发现，A型非裔美国女性收缩压和舒张压升高的调整后相对风险分别是B型女性的9.06倍和2.26倍。
