The prevalence of hypertension in blacks is higher than in other groups. In 2009 to 2012, the age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 44.9% and 46.1% among non-Hispanic black men and women, respectively; 32.9% and 30.1% among non-Hispanic white men and women, respectively; and 29.6% and 29.9% among Hispanic men and women, respectivelyBlack patients of African origin have more severe and resistant hypertension. A recent study from the National Health and Nutrition survey reported that 42.8% of African-born (foreign) blacks had hypertension but only 27.4% of US-born blacks had hypertension.PROPOSE a scientifically-testable hypothesis that explains the disparity in hypertension between black patients of US-born vs. those of foreign-born status as shown in the graph below.

. The prevalence of high blood pressure in the American population.

There were no associations between ACE I/D or 12 other polymorphisms of hypertension susceptibility genes and clinical outcomes or treatment effect in White patients with hypertension and LVH in the LIFE study. This suggests that the observed effects of losartan versus atenolol in the LIFE study do not depend on these genotypes, at least among these White patients studied in the Scandinavian countries. sum up in one sentonce
