Abstract
Purpose of this study was to investigate correlation between blood pressure(systolic and diastolic) and dietary Na, K intake pattern in the family members of normal and hypertension disease patients, besides patients themselves. Mean values of $systolic(126.6\pm18.0$ vs $119.3\pm17.2mmHg)$ and diastolic $(77.6\pm14.6$ vs $71.6\pm12.5mmHg)$ blood pressure in the family members of hypertension patients were significantly higher than those of normal subjects. Systolic blood pressure in normal subject group was positively correlated with age, body weight, sodium in soybean paste, and was negatively correlated with potassium in hotpepper paste, soybean paste and meats. Systolic blood pressure in the family member of hypertension patient was positively correlated with age, body weight, sodium in soybean Paste, and table salt intake, but urinary potassium excretion was negatively correlated. Diastolic blood pressure was positively correlated with age, body weight, and table salt intake, and was negatively correlated with potassium in hotpepper paste and soybean paste in normal subjects groups. In the family members of hypertension patients group, diastolic blood pressure was positively correlated with age, body weight, and table salt intake, and was negatively correlated with sodium in hotpepper Paste and soybean paste and urinary potassium excretion. In total, tendency of negative correlation between Na intake pattern and systolic blood pressure in normal subjects was much obvious than that in the family members of hypertension patients. Urinary potassium excretion in the family members of hypertension patients was also negatively correlated with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
고혈압은 한국인에 있어서 발병율이 높은 성인병이며 또한 식이 중 Na 섭취와 관련이 있는 질병으로 알려져 있는바, 본 연구는 건강한 구성원만을 가진 정상인군과 고혈압 환자가 있는 가족의 구성원을 대상으로(환자 자신은 제외 ) 이들이 섭취하는 음식물, 소변 중의 Na 및 K과 혈압을 측정함으로서 이들 항목이 고혈압과 어떤 상관관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 고혈압 환자의 수축기 $혈압(126\pm18.0mmHg)과$ 이완기 $혈압(77.6\pm14.6mmHg)은$ 정상인 가족의 수축기 $혈압(119.3\pm17.2mmHg)과$ 이완기 $혈압(71.6\pm12.5mmHg)$ 보다 유의적으로 높은 수치를 보였다. 수축기 혈압과 조사 항목간의 상관관계는 다음과 같다. 정상인군에서는 나이, 체중, 된장내 Na, 된장내 Na는 양의 상관관계를 보였고, 고추장내 K, 된장내 K, 고기반찬류내 K 등과 부의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 고혈압 환자 가족군에서는 나이, 체중, 소금 섭취량, 된장내 Na 등과 양의 상관관계를, 소변내 K배설량과 부의 상관관계를 보였다.
