Key result
Mental stress BP hyperreactivity in ~27% of adolescents correlates with lower muscle force and mental development.
Cross-Sectional (n=66)
Blood pressure reactivity to mental stress in adolescents correlates with muscle force, body weight, and baseline blood pressure, suggesting a potential role for reducing stress reactivity in primary cardiovascular prevention.

BP hyperreactivity to mental stress was associated with lower muscle force in adolescents; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Resume In order to assess factors contributing to stress reactivity of blood pressure 66 adolescents (25 boys and 41 girles) form 14 to 17 yrs (15,2+0,1 yrs) were examined. Test with oral calculation, psychological (questionnaires of Bass-Darky, Kettle, Spielberg) as well as force of skeletal muscles and were assessed. Hyperreaction of blood pressure (BP) was observed in 27% of adolescents, normal reaction - in 47% cases, low reactivity - in 26%. In hyperreactive subjects lower parameters of skeletal muscle force were documented. Psychological discrepancies were insignificant between the groups. The BP raise during mental stress correlated with muscle force, body weight, baseline BP level and mental development. The data obtained can indicate that reducing stress reactivity can be important instrument in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in psychogenic rest groups.

Сумин et al. (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Stress reactivity of blood pressure (n=66). Mental stress (oral calculation test) was evaluated on Blood pressure reactivity to mental stress. Blood pressure hyperreactivity during mental stress occurred in 27% of adolescents and correlated with lower skeletal muscle force, body weight, baseline blood pressure, and mental development.
