title: [Hypertension risk factors and epidemiological study in middle-aged intellectuals in China].
abstract: This paper reported the results of epidemiological survey of middle-aged intellectuals in Tianjin university. The results showing the heritability factor in hypertension is 62%, and the pattern of heredity is somewhat associated with sex. There was significant positive correlation between the parents' blood pressure and the living environment with too close familial aggregation space. It seemed that environmental factor still played a role in adults' essential hypertension. There was a significant positive correlation between blood pressure and QI, but not between parents' figure and children's QI. No interaction was found between familial history of hypertension and QI. This indicated that overweight was mainly determined by environment and so it might be feasible to decrease one's body weight in controlling blood pressure by diet.
