Distribution of participants according to mean blood pressure and age group

Age group in years	No.	Mean systolic BP ±SD	Mean diastolic BP ±SD
< 20	3	107 ±6	70±0
20–30	224	125±16	81±12
31–40	148	130±18	85±11
41–50	44	143±23	93±14
51–60	6	162±22	106±12
>60	1	140	90

Table 4 shows that both systolic and diastolic BP increased with increase in age from < 20 years up to 60 years of age.
