Résumé

Dans un échantillon représentatif de la huitième année des écoles de Bâle-Ville, la tension systolique des 358 garçons excédait celle des 387 filles de 5 mm/Hg (p<0,005). Les 40 garçons (11%) et les 56 filles (14%) qui fumaient une ou plusieures cigarettes par jour avaient une tension en dessous des non-fumeurs. Ces résultats sont en accord avec ceux d'autres auteurs qui ont trouvés le même phénomène chez des adultes chez qui il a été observé que le fait de fumer diminue l'augmentation de la tension artérielle habituellement liée à une prise de poids.

Summary

In a representative sample of Basle eight grade students (14–16 years) blood pressure measurements were correlated with smoking habits. Mean pressure was 122 68 mm Hg for 358 boys and 118/68 mm Hg for 387 girls (p 0,005). 40 of the boys (11%) and 56 of the girls (14%) reported themselves as smoking one or more cigarettes daily. They were found to have lower systolic and diastolic pressure values than non-smokers.

These results confirm findings in adults, where smoking was reported to have an inhibiting effect on blood pressure rise in the case of weight gain.
