Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation between hemoglobin and blood pressure.
Methods:This study adopted the cross-sectional design method. Participants were recruited from grade 2 in primary school, grade 1 from junior and senior high school taking physical examination, including the hemoglobin test, organized by the Guangzhou Municipal Primary and Secondary School Health and Health Promotion Center from January to December in 2015. Correlation between blood pressure and hemoglobin and determinants of blood pressure were analyzed.
Results:A total of 34 752 samples participated including 17 414 boys and 17 338 girls. Hemoglobin was negatively associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) among girls with anemia(P<0.01). Hemoglobin was positively associated with SBP and DBP among boys and girls with normal hemoglobin level(P<0.01). With each tertile increase in blood pressure, hemoglobin level increased by 1 mmHg. Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with peers from same grade with hemoglobin level lower than P25, the risk of suffering from pre-hypertension and hypertension among students from grade 2 with hemoglobin level greater than or equal to P75, and those from junior high and senior high schools with hemoglobin level higher than or equal to P50.
Conclusion:Among students without anemia population, a positive correlation between hemoglobin and SBP and DBP is observed.
