对伊朗南部Qash '' qai部落264名传统游牧牧民的血压、饮食、尿电解质排泄和体型进行了研究。人口样本包括男性和女性成员14岁以上的6个冬季露营地。访谈建立了生物学年龄，任何非游牧生活和24小时饮食回忆的经验。测量身高、体重、三头肌皮褶厚度和血压。分析过夜尿液样本的Na、K和肌酐。对斯台普斯样品进行了选定营养素和电解质含量的分析。男性尿钠排泄量平均为186 meq/24 h，女性为141 meq/24 h。尿Na/K比值男、女分别为3.64和3.24。收缩压、舒张压和平均血压随年龄增长而升高。血压≥140/90见于30岁或以上的12%的男性和18%的女性。两种性别的体重均无随年龄增长而增加的趋势。男性收缩压和平均血压与尿钠排泄量相关，女性与尿Na/K比值相关。从文化观察来看，人口样本被认为处于低文化适应水平。这一人群的血压趋势可能与习惯性饮食电解质摄入有关。
Blood pressure, diet, urinary electrolyte excretion and body form were studied in 264 traditional nomadic herdsmen of the Qash''qai tribe, southern Iran. The population sample included male and female members over 14 yr of age at 6 winter campsites. Interviews established biological age, any experience of nonnomadic living and 24 h dietary recall. Height, weight, triceps skinfolds and blood pressure were measured. Overnight urine samples were analyzed for Na, K and creatinine. Samples of dietary staples were analyzed for selected nutrients and electrolyte content. Urinary Na excretion averaged 186 meq/24 h in males, and 141 meq/24 h in females. Urinary Na/K ratio were 3.64 and 3.24 in males and females, respectively. Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure in males and females increased significnatly with age. Blood pressure .gtoreq. 140/90 was found in 12% of males and 18% of females age 30 yr or over. Body weight showed no tendency to increase with age in either sex. Systolic and mean blood pressure correlated with urinary sodium excretion in males and with urinary Na/K ratio in females. From cultural observations, the population sample was considered to be at a low level of acculturation. Blood pressure trends in this population probably are related to habitual dietary electrolyte intake.
