目的：本研究旨在评估冥想项目对青少年静息和动态血压以及心率的影响。
方法：对73名中学生（年龄12.3±0.6岁）的数据进行了分析，这些学生按班级被随机分配到冥想组（N = 34）或健康教育对照组（N = 39）。冥想组在学校以及放学后在家每天进行10分钟的冥想，持续3个月。使用Dinamap 1846SX监测仪在连续三个上学日的测试前和测试后获取静息（坐姿）收缩压、舒张压和心率测量值。使用Spacelabs 90207监测仪在测试前和测试后记录24小时动态收缩压、动态舒张压和动态心率，在自我报告的正常清醒时间每20分钟记录一次，在自我报告的正常睡眠时间每30分钟记录一次。
结果：在测试前到测试后的平均变化方面，冥想组和健康教育对照组之间在静息收缩压（-2.7对1.1毫米汞柱）、放学后白天动态收缩压（-2.0对3.6毫米汞柱）、放学后白天动态舒张压（0.1对4.3毫米汞柱）以及放学后白天动态心率（-5.3对0.3次/分钟）上发现有显著（P <.05）差异。
结论：这些研究结果表明，在健康的正常血压青少年的自然环境中，冥想对血压和心率具有潜在的有益影响。
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a meditation program on resting and ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate in youth. Methods: Data from 73 middle school students (age 12.3 +/- 0.6 years) randomly assigned by classroom to either meditation (N = 34) or health education control (N = 39) groups were analyzed. The meditation groups engaged in 10-minute sessions at school and at home after school each day for 3 months. Resting (seated) systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate measurements were obtained pretest and posttest on three consecutive school days using Dinamap 1846SX monitors. Ambulatory systolic blood pressure, ambulatory diastolic blood pressure, and ambulatory heart rate were recorded over 24-hour periods at pretest and posttest every 20 minutes during self-reported normal waking hours and every 30 minutes during self-reported normal sleep hours using Spacelabs 90207 monitors. Results: Significant (P < .05) differences in average change from pretest to posttest were found between the meditation and health eduction control groups for resting systolic blood pressure (-2.7 vs. 1.1 mm Hg), daytime ambulatory systolic blood pressure after school (-2.0 vs. 3.6 mm Hg), daytime ambulatory diastolic blood pressure after school (0.1 vs. 4.3 mm Hg), and daytime ambulatory heart rate after school (-5.3 vs. 0.3 bpm). Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the potential beneficial impact of meditation on blood pressure and heart rate in the natural environment in healthy normotensive youth.
