Abstract: Although essential hypertension is more prevalent among Black adults than White adults, results of an extensive high school blood pressure screening program reveal that this relationship does not obtain among adolescents. In fact, the blood pressure levels of White youths equal or exceed that of Black youths. This race effect still exists when age, sex, weight, and socioeconomic status are controlled.
