This is the same results put into a table, maybe easier to read for some. 1st row is 11-17 years olds, 2nd- 18-24, 3rd- 25-34, 4th- 35-44 and the last row is 45-54 year olds. MEN WOMEN
Systolic Diastolic Systolic Diastolic
Journal Questions:
State a problem about the relationship of age and gender to blood pressure.
Blood pressure runs higher in males and higher in general as we grow older.
Use your knowledge about the heart and the circulatory system to make a hypothesis about how the average blood pressure for a group of people would be affected by manipulating the age and gender of the group members.
I believe as we grow older our blood pressure will get higher before topping out at a norm and for males it will always run higher than for females.

How will you use the investigation screen to test your hypothesis? What steps will you follow? What data will you record?
By comparing the results from males to females I will be ble to support my hypothsis. I will find the systoilic and diastolic pressure for men and women in the age groups. I will record what it is for males and compare those to what I find for the females in the age groups.

Analyze the result of your experiment. Explain any patterns you observed.
I find that blood pressure was the same for both men and women when they were younger, but as age increases so does the blood pressure and it becomes higher for men than for women.

Did the result of your experiment support your hypothesis? Why or why not? Based on your experiment what conclusion can you draw about the relationship of age and gender to group blood pressure averages?
The result of the experiment does support my hypothesis, men do have higher blood pressure than women. Age and gender do play a role in blood pressure averages.
During the course of your experiment, did you obtain any blood pressure reading that were outside of the normal range for the group being tested? What did you notice on the medical charts for these individuals that might explain their high reading?
I did see some blood pressure readings that were out of the normal range. After viewing these patient's charts I seen their higher blood pressure readings were because of hypertension running in the family, lack of exercise, drinking alcohol, and a high salt diet. All factors don't have to occur at once for hypertension to be possible.

List risk factors associated with the hypertension. Based on your observation, which risk factor do you think is most closely associated with hypertension?
High salt diets, family history of hypertension, lack of exercise and alcohol consumption. I think lack of exercise and high salt diets play a bigger role in hypertension.

What effect might obesity have on blood pressure? Does obesity alone cause a person to be at risk for high blood pressure? What other factors, in combination with obesity, might increase a person's risk for high blood pressure?
Obesity can cause hypertension because there is no exercise and probably a lot of junk foods that are high in salts. Adding obesity to family history of hypertension could definately bring a higher risk for hypertension.
