Aggregation of blood pressure in the families of children with labile high systolic blood pressure. The Muscatine Study. 1986

W R Clarke, and H G Schrott, and T L Burns, and C F Sing, and R M Lauer

The aggregation of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate is compared among the relatives of three groups of index children: children with low systolic blood pressure (less than the 5th percentile), middle range systolic blood pressure (between the 5th and 95th percentiles), or labile high blood pressure (above the 95th percentile when first sampled but below the 95th percentile when resampled four to six months later). Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures aggregate more strongly in the families of children with labile high systolic blood pressure than in the families of children with middle or low range systolic blood pressure. The degree of aggregation of heart rate does not differ among the three groups. Since blood pressures aggregate so strongly in families of children with labile high systolic blood pressure, study of these children and their families may yield important information about the etiology of hypertension.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006973	Hypertension	Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D007022	Hypotension	Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients.

D007484	Iowa	State bounded on the north by Minnesota, on the east by Wisconsin and Illinois, on the south by Missouri, and on the west by Nebraska and South Dakota.

D012044	Regression Analysis	Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
