摘要: Abstract Higher systolic blood pressures were found among similar age groups measured in 1962 compared to those 1950 the Los Angeles Heart Study. Analyses performed insure that these differences real and not due measurement or self selection. Covariance analyses indicated higher occurred subjects who reported they had eaten for 2 hr more 5 prior examination as well non-smokers, alcohol users, non-salt adders.
