Key result
Thirty-five variables, including age, weight, and height, were significantly correlated with arterial blood pressure but jointly explained less than 10% of its total variation.
Cross-Sectional (n=42,804)
In a large male population, traditional demographic and clinical variables explain less than 10% of the total variation in arterial blood pressure.

Traditional factors explain little BP variation; leaves open unidentified determinants for future research.
Kesteloot et al. (1974) conducted a cross-sectional in Arterial blood pressure (n=42,804). 35 variables (including age, weight, and height) was evaluated on Total variation of arterial blood pressure. Thirty-five variables, including age, weight, and height, were significantly correlated with arterial blood pressure but jointly explained less than 10% of its total variation.
