巴西城市的一项研究探讨了个体现代化与动脉血压升高之间的关系。我们假设血压升高是由于个人的生活方式与其经济资源之间的差异造成的；具体来说，我们建议，当现代生活方式的获得超过经济资源时，一种称为“生活方式压力”的情况，血压就会升高。该因素与舒张压有关，但与收缩压无关，独立于各种生物、饮食和社会文化混杂因素。与生活事件相关的感知变化也可以预测舒张压，但不能预测收缩压。舒张压的其他预测因素包括钙摄入量、脂肪摄入量、种族、年龄和体重指数。我们认为，现代化进程中出现的社会文化风险因素是经济发展造成的社会结构失衡的结果，是动脉血压升高的独立风险因素。
The relationship between individual modernization and elevated arterial blood pressure was examined in a study in urban Brazil. We hypothesized that elevated blood pressure would result from the discrepancy between an individual''s style of life and his or her economic resources; specifically, we suggested that when modern life-style acquisition exceeded economic resources, a circumstance referred to as "life-style stress," blood pressure would be elevated. This factor was related to diastolic, but not systolic, blood pressure, independently of a variety of biologic, dietary, and sociocultural confounding factors. The perceived change associated with life events also predicted diastolic, but not systolic, blood pressure. Other predictors of diastolic blood pressure were calcium intake, fat intake, race, age, and the body mass index. We argue that sociocultural risk factors emerge in the modernization process as a result of social structural imbalances generated by economic development and represent independent risk factors for elevated arterial blood pressure.
