Abstract excerpt
This study illustrates the very complex nature of gene by environmental interactions influencing the blood pressure (BP) distribution in a series of genetically distinctive populations undergoing rapid acculturation. We report the results of two BP and anthropometric surveys on Solomon Islands societies separated by an interval of 14 to 19 years. While differences in acculturation existed at the time of the...
