Key result
Suppressed aggression emerged as a superimposed permissive factor for a steeper trajectory or acceleration of early development of hypertension in young adults.
Why the study?
Do baseline blood pressure, stress-induced blood pressure responses, and suppressed aggression predict the early development of essential hypertension in young adults?
Population
121 subjects (98 normotensive and 23 borderline hypertensive) of both sexes aged 18-24 years.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
30 (+/- 4 s.d.) months

Suppressed aggression may accelerate early hypertension onset in young adults; leaves open causal inference and intervention effects in prospective trials.
Cohort (n=121)
Do baseline blood pressure, stress-induced blood pressure responses, and suppressed aggression predict the early development of essential hypertension in young adults?
Suppressed aggression and baseline or stress-induced systolic blood pressure are significant predictors for the early development and acceleration of essential hypertension in young adults.
Perini et al. (1991) conducted a cohort in Essential hypertension (n=121). Suppressed aggression and stress-induced cardiovascular responses was evaluated on Development of borderline or established hypertension. Suppressed aggression emerged as a superimposed permissive factor for a steeper trajectory or acceleration of early development of hypertension in young adults.
