[Epidemiological observations on the significance of the relations between elevated values of essential arterial pressure in schoolchildren and their parents].

The results of an epidemiological screening of 1,228 parents and 614 children, pupils in the V-XII forms of 12 schools of different types, are presented. It is suggested that when parents present elevated blood pressure values their children, although normotensive, are at high risk, especially in case more risk factors are present. The relation hypertensive parents--hypertensive offsprings was strongly significant. In the hypertensive children with normotensive parents the high frequency of some life-style dependent risk factors is discussed. The relationship between risk factors and morbidity by essential hypertension both in parents and their offsprings and the need of primary and secondary prevention programs for pupils are underlined.

[Epidemiological observations on alcohol consumption as a risk factor in essential arterial hypertension].

The results of the epidemiological investigations in industrial environment in view of demonstrating some relations between alcohol and salt consumption, tobacco smoking, over weight and prevalence of essential arterial hypertension are presented. The obtained data indicate that in 471 workers in smelting the prevalence of alcohol consumers (1-3 intakes/day of strong alcohol) was of 15% as compared to 28.4% in 559 workers in an unit for building equipment, 4% in the 1188 women, working in ready-made and knitted wear mills and 19.8 and 4.5% in men and women, respectively, working in administrative services. Both the prevalence of daily strong alcohol consumption and of the other considered factors are significantly increasing with age. An increased prevalence of alcohol consumption associated with tobacco smoking, salt consumption and over weight was found in the hypertensive subjects as compared to the controls. The obtained data are useful in elaborating primary prevention programs of essential arterial hypertension.

[Epidemiology of essential arterial hypertension in collectives of schoolchildren. The prevalence of blood pressure changes].

7,917 pupils in schools, between 10-19 years old, of both sexes, were investigated within an epidemiologic screening, performed in the school milieu, for detecting the prevalence of some risk factors (RF) and of the AT modifications with a view to work out the programmes for the essential arterial hypertension (EAHT) primary prevention. 84.4% of all the pupils in the Vth--VIIIth forms and 93.9 pupils in the IXth--XIIth forms were included in the screening. 422 cases of labile arterial hypertension (LAHT) (5.1%) and 457 of benign arterial hypertension (BATH) (54%) were found. In the children with normal arterial hypertension (NAHT) the following were recorded: 46.5% increases only of the diastolic tension: 44.0% of the systolic-diastolic and 7.1% of the systolic tension respectively. Although present, the differences between the LAHT and BAHT prevalence in the gymnasiums (4.3% and 5.4%) and lyceums (5.5% and 6.4%) are not significant and might be functions of: age, sex, psychomotor development, structure of the respective collectivities, the momentary psychoemotional reactions, lability of the blood pressure, specific to the childhood, several screening difficulties etc. The observations made on the prevalence of the growth of the AT values were correlated with the occurrence at some significant levels of the RF, suggesting the measures to be taken for the steady improvement of the primary and secondary prophylaxis of EAHT in schools.

[Intervention associated with risk factors for essential arterial hypertension. II. Epidemiologic observations of schoolchildren].

Based on an epidemiological screening of 6411 pupils from 7 schools of different types, the frequency and intensity of the association of 8 risk factors for essential hypertension in a series with increased blood pressure values and in a normotensive one was compared. The frequency of the various studied risk factors was significant especially in the pupils with increased blood pressure values. The average number of risk factors in the two series was unsignificant. The intensity of 2, 3 or 4 risk factors different associations was more marked in the pupils with increased blood pressure values than in the controls. Some risk factors proved to be more frequently involved in multifactorial associations. The importance of such studies for the elaboration of prevention programmes in underlined.

[Interventions associated with some risk factors for essential arterial hypertension. I. Epidemiologic observations in adults].

The results of an epidemiological screening followed by the investigation of 9 risk factors for essential hypertension in 1218 individuals with increased values of blood pressure are presented. Stress, overweight and dietary preferences for fats and eggs had the incidence especially in, the age groups over 40 years. Both the individuals with borderline hypertension or arterial hypertension and the controls presented 2, 3 or more associated risk factors of variable intensity, the higher values being recorded in the greater than or equal to 40 years age group. When more than 3 risk factors were associated, the increases in systolic and diastolic pressures were significant. The investigation of 7 biochemical constants revealed that 50% of 190 cases with arterial hypertension presented cholesterol levels higher than 220 mg%. Increased total lipids, free fatty acids and triglycerides levels were also recorded. The results plead for multifactorial prevention programmes.
