Systolic blood pressure in adolescents varies significantly based on sex, obesity, and race.
Adolescent SBP differences by sex, obesity, and race merit prospective study; cross-sectional data leave causal and practice implications open.
The researcher used the analysis of variance and the uncorrelated t-test to determine the significant differences between age, sex, obesity, race, and familial tendency in systolic and diastolic blood pressures for 496 randomly chosen adolescent subjects. Significance was found in the differences between the systolic blood pressure by sex, obesity and race. Mean values were presented for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure by sex, age, and ethnic origin.
