  • Physical activity and hypertension in black adults

    Barbara E Ainsworth, Nora L Keenan et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•1991•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 25

    The relation of physical activity to hypertension was examined in 1751 Black adults in Pitt County, NC. More women (65%) than men (44%) were classified as sedentary. Sedentary behavior was not associated with the prevalence of hypertension in men, but was associated with a 31% increase in prevalence for women (sedentary-26.2%; active-20.0%; P less than .01). The association in women was independent of other risk factors for hypertension

  • Socioeconomic status and electrolyte intake in black adults

    Ann M Gerber, A James et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•1991•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 6

    BACKGROUND. Although the inverse association between socioeconomic status (SES) and blood pressure has often been observed, little is known about the relationship between SES and dietary risk factors for elevated blood pressure. Therefore, this study described the distribution of dietary intakes of sodium, potassium, and calcium and examined the association between electrolyte intake and SES among 1784 Black men and women aged 25 to 50 residing i…

Stroke mortality rates were calculated using data from the National …

  • Education, race, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol among US adults

    David S Freedman, David Strogatz et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Public Health•1992•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 23

    OBJECTIVES. Although educational achievement is positively related to levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) among White adults, there is an inverse association among Blacks. We assessed whether this interaction could be attributed to differences in the relation of education to correlates of HDL-C. METHODS. Cross-sectional analyses were based on data from 8391 White and 995 Black adults who participated in the Second National Heal…
