There was no significant difference in mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure among white, black, and Asian school leavers, though black pupils had a stronger family history of hypertension.
Cross-Sectional (n=428)
428 school leavers of white, black, and Asian ethnicity screened for blood pressure and anthropometric characteristics.
Ethnicity (white, black, and Asian) vs Between ethnic groups
Mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure, p=not significant
p-value: p=not significant
Four-hundred and twenty-eight school leavers of 3 ethnic groups (white, black and Asian) were screened for blood pressure, resting pulse rate and general anthropometric characteristics. Asian pupils were both shorter and lighter than the other two groups whilst black males were heavier and taller. There was no significant difference in the mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure between the 3 groups, although the black pupils had a stronger family history of hypertension, particularly on the mother's side. These observations differ in some respects from other ethnic blood pressure studies and establish values for the local population.

Giovanni et al. (Sat,) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure (n=428). Ethnicity (white, black, and Asian) vs. Between ethnic groups was evaluated on Mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure (p=not significant). There was no significant difference in mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure among white, black, and Asian school leavers, though black pupils had a stronger family history of hypertension.
