Profile of blood pressure in normal school children.

A total of 2073 school children between the age group of 5-14 years were examined to define the normal range of auscultatory blood pressure and prevalence of hypertension. An equal number of children in each age, sex and socio-economic group were studied. Mean figures for systolic and diastolic blood pressure with standard deviation and 95th percentile position for each age group were calculated. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure for both sexes had a direct correlation with age, weight and height. Overall prevalence of hypertension was found to be 2.93%.

DDT and its metabolites in human body fat in India.

DDE and the o,p' and p,p' isomers of DDT were assayed in 94 human biopsy fat samples from hospitals in Delhi by gas chromatography. DDT was present in all except 2 samples at concentrations from 0.17 to 176.5 mg per kg of body fat. The average total DDT content was 21.8+/-2.9 mg/kg, of which 45.9% was DDE. The average value reported in a similar study in 1965 (24.3 mg/kg, of which DDE constituted 39.7%) was not significantly different from the present value, indicating that the DDT storage status has not since undergone any significant change.
