Familial aggregation of blood pressure in a rural Chinese community.
This study investigated blood pressure in 1,183 Chinese nuclear families (mother, father, and first two children) via a cross-sectional 1994-1997 survey. The mother's, the father's, and the first sibling's blood pressures were each significantly and independently related to the second sibling's blood pressure after adjustment for sex, age, height, weight, education, smoking, and alcohol consump...
متن کاملFamilial aggregation of arterial blood pressure and possible genetic influence.
The aggregation of arterial blood pressure, weight, and height were compared between family members of children and adolescents with blood pressure percentiles at or above 95 (group 1) and at or below 50 (group 2). Weight, height, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly higher in siblings and target individuals of group 1 (p less than 0.001). Weight and systolic and diasto...
متن کاملSignificance of blood pressure in infancy. Familial aggregation and predictive effect on later blood pressure.
Blood pressure was measured in 730 infants and their mothers within 5 days of birth. Paternal blood pressures were obtained where possible, and follow-up measurements were made on participants at 1 week and 1, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Infant blood pressures were adjusted for such variables as age, observer, cuff size, and sleep/activity status. Infant blood pressure correlated with maternal bl...
متن کاملEffect of home blood pressure and gender on estimates of the familial aggregation of blood pressure. The Tecumseh Blood Pressure Study.
Blood pressure (BP) readings from a single clinic visit are often used in population studies investigating the genetic basis of BP. We examined first-degree relatives in the Tecumseh Blood Pressure study to compare heritability estimates of BP readings obtained in the clinic-office setting (the average of two seated readings) with self-reported home BP readings (the average of 14 readings) take...
متن کاملTokelau Island Migrant Study. Effect of migration on the familial aggregation of blood pressure.
