| Abstract | Hypertension is responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality in developed Asian communities such as Hong Kong. It is likely that both genetic and environmental factors are responsible for hypertension although the relative contribution of these may vary according to ethnicity. This is the abstract of a study to compare body fat distribution and lipid profiles between hypertensive patients and their normotensive siblings. |
