Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the possible relationship of hypertension and diabetes with the ABO, Rhesus, and Duffy blood groups, which are known markers of African ancestry. DESIGN: Population-based study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: A random sample of 1253 Barbados residents, > or = 40 years of age. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure >140 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure >90...
