本文的目的是研究西班牙青少年血压和其他健康变量之间的相关性。来自马德里21个区中16个区的18个私立教育中心和17个公立教育中心的204名男孩和270名女孩（年龄13-17岁，经父母书面同意）构成了代表性样本。12.7%的男孩和35.6%的女孩不活动或久坐不动。社会经济地位在很大程度上决定了女孩的体育活动，特别是在16-17岁年龄组。女孩的烟草消费量明显高于男孩。男孩的烟草消费量与体力活动呈显著的负相关。在女孩中，47.4%的人轻度超重或肥胖，而男孩的比例为14.7%。观察到女孩的肥胖和体力活动之间存在显著关联。男孩的收缩压/舒张压平均值为125.6/71.3 mm Hg，女孩为118/69.4 mm Hg。性别和收缩压之间的显着关系被发现。体力活动和舒张压之间的关系，男孩被观察到（69.9毫米汞柱的活跃或非常活跃和74.1毫米汞柱的中度活跃久坐）。血压和其他变量之间缺乏现有的关系，支持这些变量需要较长时间才能成为明显的心血管危险因素的假设。因此，我们认为，女孩和社会经济地位较低的人在与健康有关的习惯方面应得到高度优先关注。
The aim of this paper was to study the correlations between blood pressure and other health variables in Spanish adolescents. 204 boys and 270 girls (aged 13-17 years, with written parental consent,) from 18 private and 17 public educative centers from 16 of 21 districts of the city of Madrid, constituted the representative sample. 12.7% of the boys and 35.6% of the girls were inactive or sedentary. Socioeconomic status significantly determined the physical activity of girls, especially in the age group 16-17 years. The tobacco consumption by girls was significantly greater than by boys. A significant inverse relation of tobacco consumption with physical activity was found for boys. Among the girls, 47.4% were lightly overweight to obese as opposed to 14.7% of boys. A significant association between adiposity and physical activity in the girls was observed. The averages for the systolic/diastolic blood pressure were 125.6/71.3 mm Hg in boys and 118/69.4 mm Hg in girls. A significant relation between gender and systolic blood pressure was found. A relation between physical activity and diastolic blood pressure for boys was observed (69.9 mm Hg for active or very active and 74.1 mm Hg for moderately active to sedentary). The lack of existing relations between blood pressure and others variables support the hypothesis that these variables require a longer-term to become obvious cardiovascular risk factors. We believe, therefore, that girls and those from lower socioeconomic status should receive high-priority attention concerning health-related habits.
