[Arterial blood pressure levels of adolescents and their parents in a rural district (an epidemiological study)].
A 10% randomized sample of adolescents aged 15 to 17 years living in a rural area were examined by standard methods of the epidemiological survey. Altogether 497 boys and 613 girls (a 93.3% coverage) and their parents (1000 fathers and 1053 mothers) were entered into the study. Based on the population-familial material it was established that under rural conditions the mean parameters of the SBP in girls aged 15 years were significantly higher (113 +/- 0.43) than in boys (110 +/- 0.58) (P less than 0.05). At the same time the mean values of the DBP in boys and girls aged 15 to 17 years did not differ substantially, being respectively 69.3, 70.3, 71.5 in boys and 70.6, 70.5, 71.9 in girls. Positive correlations between the SBP and DBP were obtained, ranging from 0.52 to 0.72 in the subgroups of schoolchildren differing in sex and age. Significant correlations were discovered between parents and children: 0.133 +/- 0.022 as regards the SBP; 0.224 +/- 0.021 as regards the DBP; 0.154 +/- 0.054 as regards the SBP and DBP. The ratio of the genetic correlation between the SBP and DBP amounted to 0.89 +/- 0.12, which points to the presence of the essential generality of the genetic determination of both these parameters.
