Abstract
To study the relation between urinary-tract infection and blood pressure, the frequency of these disorders was determined in two populations. In 2302 white working women, bacteriuria was, for successive twenty-year age periods, 12.8, 2.8 and 1.4 times higher than in 2882 white nuns. In Negro women, the differences were even greater. In white working women, the prevalence of bacteriuria was not significantly affected by number of pregnancies, form of menstrual protection or the use of oral contraceptives.Keywords
