W W Dressler, G A Grell, P N Gallagher and F E Viteri

Department of Behavioral Science, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa 35487.

A study of social factors and blood pressure was conducted in a Jamaican community among a sample of 199 persons ages 30 to 50. After controlling for obesity, age, and respondent tension (and other covariates), interaction effects of social class x sex for systolic and diastolic blood pressure were found. Blood pressure increased with increasing social class for males and decreased with increasing social class for females.
