ABSTRACT
Blood pressure and anthropometric measurements were recorded from 842 Guyanese men and women aged 35 to 54 years of African and Indian orgin living in a similar environment. Blood pressure was higher in Africans than Indians but analysis of covariance showed the differences became insignificant when indices of body bulk, excluding obesity, were taken into consideration. The ethnic difference in blood pressure could be explained by ethnic differences in body habitus (AU)
