Subjects completed detailed questionnaire physical examination. calculated mean systolic diastolic (SBP DBP, respectively) by level education, rank, type (as measures SES), adjusting for demographic variables body mass index (BMI). Results Adjusted means SBP DBP were highest among low-ranking (SBP, 119 mm Hg, compared with 117 115 Hg intermediate high-ranking officers, respectively, P Conclusions Low reflected low associated elevated pressure. However, whole, weak determinant age BMI.
