DALLAS (AP) — When doctors’
average annual income declines,
their blood pressure goes up and
stays high for as long as five years,
according to a new study that shows
it’s not just poor people whose
health is affected by economic status.
The finding, in a professional
group with an average annual in
come of $108,000 in 1984, parallels
findings previously made in blue-
collar workers, said Robert Swank,
an economist from Johns Hopkins
Medical School in Baltimore.
“There are not many decreases in
income among physicians, so their
hypertension is fairly low,” Swank
said in an interview. But the national
average of doctors’ incomes did de
cline in six separate years since
World War II, he said.
For each 1 percent drop in in
come, the number of doctors with el
evated blood pressure rose 2.5 per
cent the next year. “The association
is strong,” Swank said.
He counted only those cases of
high blood pressure serious enough
to i cquire medication.
Swank studied 1,130 white males
who graduated from Johns Hopkins
Medical School between 1948 and
1964, and compared their incidence
of blood pressure with national fig
ures on doctors’ incomes.
The incidence of high blood pres
sure, or hypertension, went up in
each of the six years that doctors’ in
come declined, and it remained
higher than normal for five years af
ter the decline, Swank said.
He noted that some doctors devel
oped higher blood pressure in diffi
cult times even though their own in
comes might not have declined.
Doctors are sensitive to the eco
nomic outlook for their profession,
and they react with stress and high
blood pressure whether or not they
are personally affected, Swank said.
Previous studies have found that
the overall population and blue col
lar workers, in particular, suffer
from poorer health during difficult
economic times, Swank said.
“Some people believe that it’s only
poor people whose economic status
affects their health,” Swank said.
