1975-1978年，芝加哥卫生部[美国]进行了一项筛查计划，包括测量血压、心率、身高、体重、三头肌皮褶厚度和臂围，并计算非公立学校儿童的体重指数和肌肉周长。基于4086名5-10岁的男孩和女孩的数据，本研究检查了白色，黑人，拉丁美洲和东方种族的儿童之间的血压和心率的种族差异。收缩压和舒张压的平均水平均高于东方和黑人儿童比白色和拉丁美洲儿童。这些差异与年龄、身高、体重和皮褶厚度无关。黑人儿童的平均心率比其他儿童低得多。收缩压有季节性变化，即，在每个性别组中，根据年龄、皮褶厚度和身高调整后的平均收缩压在春季往往高于秋季和冬季。（注：由于暑假，没有孩子在暑假期间接受筛查。在控制季节的情况下，收缩压的种族差异消失了，但舒张压和心率的种族差异没有消失。
In 1975-1978, the Chicago Department of Health [USA] conducted a screening program that included measurements of blood pressure, heart rate, height, weight, triceps skinfold thickness and arm circumference, and calculation of body mass index and muscle circumference for non-public school children. Based on data on 4086 boys and girls aged 5-10 yr from the program, this study examined the ethnic differences in blood pressure and heart rate among children of white, black, Latino and Oriental ethnicity. Mean levels for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were higher for Oriental and black children than for white and Latino children. These differences were independent of age, height, weight and skinfold thickness. The black children had a much lower mean heart rate than the other children. A seasonal variation was observed for systolic blood pressure, i.e., within each sex group, the mean systolic blood pressure adjusted for age, skinfold thickness, and height tended to be higher in spring than in fall and winter. (Note-no child was screened during the summer because of summer break.) With control for season, ethnic differences in systolic blood pressure disappeared, but not the ethnic differences in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate.
