Familial resemblance in the blood pressure response to sodium restriction in normotensive persons was investigated. Forty-four families of identical twin children participated in a sodium restriction (.ltoreq. 75 meq/day) protocol for a period of 12 weeks. Subjects were residents of central Indiana [USA], and the study was conducted over a three-year period. Parent-offspring and sibling-sibling resemblances for actual blood pressure were not different under conditions of ad lib sodium intake versus sodium restriction. Mother-offspring resemblance in blood pressure change with sodium restriction was significant for systolic (p < 0.001), diastolic (p < 0.05), and mean arterial (p < 0.05) pressures. Sibling-sibling and twin-twin resemblances were also highly significant for the change in all three blood pressures. Father-offspring resemblances were marginal (p < 0.10). This study is, to the author''s knowledge, the first to demonstrate significant familial resemblances in blood pressure change with sodium restriction in normotensive persons.
