Heredity, stress and blood pressure, a family set method--I. Study aims and sample flow.
-This first article, in a series of five. describes the method of sampling farnil) sets. Family sets are composed of three persons having a genetic relation: an index, his/her sibling and first cousin, and two persons having an environmental nexus. a spouse of index and an unrelated person matched to the index. The target populations were four census areas in Detroit, a black high stress area. ...
متن کاملHeredity, stress and blood pressure, a family set method--IV. Blood pressure adjustment techniques.
This fourth article, in a series of five, reports on the statistical adjustments useful in analyzing blood pressure data from family sets. Blood pressure level has been associated with numerous demographic, physiologic. medical history, socioeconomic. temporal and genetic characteristics. To assess the effect of a subset of these characteristics on blood pressure, it is necessary to control for...
متن کاملA family set method for estimating heredity and stress. I. A pilot survey of blood pressure among Negroes in high and low stress areas, Detroit, 1966-1967.
AMERICAN Negroes have higher blood pressures at all age-sex levels than whites, higher rates of hypertensive heart disease, and higher mortality from hypertension and stroke [I]. Assessment of the relative contributions, if any, of sociopsychological stress, health risk, and genetic factors to these differences has been limited. Though certain evidence suggests that sociopsychological stress is...
متن کاملA family set method for estimating heredity and stress. II. Preliminary results of the genetic methodology in a pilot survey of Negro blood pressure, Detroit, 1966-1967.
THE PURPOSES of this report are to describe a method to evaluate genetic components of variability using survey techniques, and to present preliminary results from the application of this method to crude measures of skin color and height, and to blood pressure. Most recent evidence suggests that the genetic contribution to the observed variability between individuals in blood pressure, systolic...
متن کاملHeredity, stress and blood pressure, a family set approach: the Detroit Project revisited.
Earlier conclusions from the Detroit Project utilizing an innovative "family sets" approach indicated that unspecified environmental factors, rather than genes, are the main determinants of blood pressure variation in blacks and whites. We report new estimates of the fraction of variation in blood pressure associated with genetic differences among individuals obtained under two methodologies: t...
