Abstract
In sailing from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, there is a sudden fall in temperature and humidity. Observations were made on the effect of this change in climate on the blood pressure. Forty-five subjects of varying ages and three patients with hypertension were studied under resting conditions. There was no significant change in the blood pressure when the relative humidity diminished by about 20 per cent.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
