Familial aggregation of blood pressure. Preliminary report.

Familial aggregation of blood pressure levels has been under study in a random sample of Buffalo families. Spouse aggregation has been demonstrated for couples married more than 15 years. Parent-child aggregation was limited to families in which father and mother had the same systolic blood pressure level in a five-response scale. Aggregation was further limited to parents and sons. In all comparisons in which aggregation was present, it was manifested most strongly in the lower range of systolic blood pressure values.

Social network and blood pressure: a population study.

The relationship between social network and blood pressure was assessed in a cross-sectional, random sample of 1409 white adults aged 20 to 70 years studied in Buffalo in 1961. Higher total social network scores were associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both males and females. Considering the components of social network separately, increased size of household and greater participation in clubs were associated with lower systolic blood pressure for males, with the trend in the same direction for women, though not reaching statistical significance. Among females, the only social network component showing significant linear trend was the number of siblings, with increased number of siblings being associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Religious service attendance and marital status were not associated with blood pressure in this population.
