在美国,黑人和白人之间的血压差异现在已经有了很好的记录。这些差异的原因仍然是推测性的。遗传因素,个人特征,肾脏生理学,内分泌因素,自主神经系统功能,心脏功能和各种环境因素的种族血压差异的潜在决定因素进行检查,在本审查。肾脏生理学和环境影响(如社会经济地位)的种族差异似乎是血压差异的重要因素。针对黑人和白人血压差异的进一步研究对于从根本上了解原发性高血压的病因和预防具有重要意义。
Differences in blood pressure between blacks and whites in the United States are now well documented. The causes of these differences remain speculative. Genetic factors, personal characteristics, renal physiology, endocrine factors, autonomic nervous system function, cardiac function and various environmental factors are examined in the present review as potential determinants of racial blood pressure differences. Racial differences in renal physiology and environmental influences such as socioeconomic status seem to be likely candidates for important contributions to blood pressure differences. Further research aimed specifically at black-white blood pressure differences is of great importance to a fundamental understanding of the etiology and prevention of essential hypertension.
