Lyhyt kuvaus:

Objective was to examine the role of childhood and adulthood factors in the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and adult systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP).

Prospective evidence suggests a weak association between low educational attainment and development of high SBP. Parental SES and adult BMI were the key explanatory factors for this association. Variation in birth weight, unemployment, smoking, alcohol consumption, and use of antihypertensive medication had marginal or no impact on the education-SBP association. No socioeconomic variation was found for DBP or occupational status.
