TI: Life style and blood pressure: the protective effect of
apple-eating
habits on high blood pressure in a high-salt population.
AU: Sasaki-N
SO: Nippon-Eiseigaku-Zasshi. 1990 Dec; 45(5):954-63. (Japanese)
AB: Prospective epidemiological studies of blood pressure in
a high-salt
population in northeastern Japan were investigated along
with
dietary habits such as miso soup, rice, apple, fish, milk
and sake
consumption as well as smoking habits. Blood pressure of
the
population in 3 villages were determined once or twice a
year by
mass surveys from 1954, 1957 or 1958 through 1975. The means
and
transitions of the personal blood pressure were calculated
by
regression analysis of the data obtained during each entire
period.
The number of persons was 1127 males and 1369 females and
the
response rate was 98.7 percent. The average number of times
of
determination of blood pressure for a person was 12.9. Stepwise
multiple regression analyses were run with the means and
transitions
of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as the dependent
variables
and the life styles of the population in 1958 as an independent
variable bases on data of persons whose blood pressures were
determined 5 or more times during the entired period.
According to the backward stepwise method this study confirmed
the positive relation of age and the sake drinking and the
negative
relationship of apple eating habits to blood pressure.

Abstract of Round Table Sessions
CAUSATIVE FACTOR IN HYPERTENSION:
THE SALT FACTOR IN HYPERTENSION
Naosuke Sasaki, Department of Hygiene, Hirosaki University
School of Medicine, Hirosaki, Japan
From the global-epidemiological standpoint, the blood
pressure of the Japanese, especially of the inhabitants in the
north-eastern parts, is in the highest level not only in a old
age but also in a young age. It seems that the level and distribution
type of the blood pressure of the populations are related to the
daily salt intakes of dietary habit from the childhood. In Japan,
the basic form of a meal is to eat rice with miso soup and pickles
with additional use of soy-souce as a seasoning. Salt intakes
more than 20 grams per day for a person is quite usual with the
Japanese.
According to the results of the trial to investigate
the effect of hypertention-control-measures, which was conducted
in a farm village from 1957, it was observed that level of the
blood pressure of the inhabitants tends to become lower compared
to the beginnings in such a young group as middle school children
through the media of improvement of living conditions such as
high intake of salt.
