Abstract
Systolic and diastolic blood pressures of a large sample of subjects with Down''s syndrome were compared with those of institutional controls and of the normal population. Subjects with Down''s syndrome have the lowest pressures at all ages and institutional controls tend to fall between the 2 groups. The rise of blood pressure with age is slight in the 2 institutional groups and the reported sex difference in the normal population was not observed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
