چکیده

Cardiovascular risk factors in childhood were assessed by re-examining a random sample of 278 children stratified by diastolic blood pressure (BP), obtained from 3524 children aged 7-15 years in an entire geographic biracial community (Bogalusa). Re-examination included plasma renin and serum electrolytes, 24-hour urine electrolytes, heart rates, and BP at rest and in response to standardized physical stresses (orthostatic, isometric handgrip, and cold pressor tests). The BP responses in these tests were not increased in the high BP strata, which argues against a prevailing labile phase in early essential hypertension. Black children tended toward larger BP responses than whites. In black boys of the high BP stratum (n = 25), systolic supine or stressed BP were higher than for other race-sex groups; these pressures were associated negatively with plasma renin activity, which was low. White children in the high BP strata had increased heart rates, possibly indicating hyperkinetic circulation. These findings indicate that multiple mechanisms operate to contol BP at different intensities for black and white children.

Racial (black-white) contrasts of risk for hypertensive disease in youth have implications for preventive care: the Bogalusa Heart Study.

Cardiovascular (CV) diseases remain the major cause of illness and death in the United States. Adverse CV outcomes are influenced by race/ ethnicity and sex. Race and sex contrasts of CV risk factors become evident early in life and have implications for prevention and medical care. Changes in the CV system in hypertensive disease are mediated by interplay among body fatness, insulin sensitivit...
