Implication

Relative weight largely accounts for BP differences across Japanese subgroups; leaves open other factors for geographic CHD and stroke gradients.

Structured PICO

Does geographic location and migration affect blood pressure distributions in Japanese men?

P
Population
Japanese men living in Japan, Honolulu (Hawaii), and Northern California
O
Outcome
Blood pressure distributions (systolic and diastolic)surrogate

Differences in blood pressure distributions among Japanese men in Japan, Hawaii, and California are largely explained by differences in relative weight and cannot alone account for the observed gradients in coronary heart disease and stroke rates.
