Blood pressure study, 1979
1980
Abstract: Over 100 tables and associated narratives describe the results of a study of mortality among insured lives according to blood pressure variations, covering mortality data between 1954-72 on approximately 4.35 million life insurance policies of 15-69 year-old men and women. Mortality ratios among men having borderline blood pressure were about 20% lower than those found in the 1979 Build and Blood Pressure Study, while for women of the same category the ratios in both studies were similar. The corresponding mortality rates for such men and women in the more recent study, however, were at least 30-50% lower and over 50% lower, respectively, than in the 1939 study. Other findings and data developed in the present study are discussed. (wz).
