A comparative study of anxiety traits and cold pressor test in offsprings of hypertensives and controls
Journal Title: Applied Physiology and Anatomy Digest - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Objectives: To study the relationship between anxiety traits and blood pressure in childrens of hypertensives and controls. Materials and Methods: 20 male and 20 female childrens of hypertensives were tested against 20 children of normotensives using cold pressor test. Anxiety traits was also tested using Taylor's manifest anxiety questionnaire. Results: Basal blood pressure in controls versus children of hypertensives (P<0.01). Cold pressor test in children of hypertensives versus controls (P<0.0001). Female controls versus childrens of hypertensives (P<0.001). Anxiety scores in male children of hypertensives versus controls (P<0.001) and in female children of hypertensives versus controls (P<0.001). Conclusion: The basal blood pressure recordings, rise of mean blood pressure after cold pressor test and the higher anxiety traits was higher in children of hypertensives showing a predilection for developing hypertension. Key words: Blood pressure, Heart Rate Hypertension, Anxiety, Cold pressor Test, anxiety Traits.
