Physical activity and hypertension in black adults: the Pitt County Study.

B E Ainsworth1, N L Keenan, D S Strogatz, J M Garrett, S A James.   

Abstract

The relation of physical activity to hypertension was examined in 1751 Black adults in Pitt County, NC. More women (65%) than men (44%) were classified as sedentary. Sedentary behavior was not associated with the prevalence of hypertension in men, but was associated with a 31% increase in prevalence for women (sedentary-26.2%; active-20.0%; P less than .01). The association in women was independent of other risk factors for hypertension.
