Brink studied the effect of postural change on cardiovascular reactivity for a sample of healthy white and African American men and women. Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from supine to standing position was used as the measure of cardiac reactivity in a sample of 842 adults. Supine measurement of blood pressure was taken after participants had lain on an examination table for 15 minutes. Blood pressure was measured five times every 2 minutes using a preset automated blood pressure monitor, and the five measurements were averaged. Participants then stood up, and an additional five measurements were made over another 10-minute period and then averaged. Below is a table describing the characteristics of Brink’s sample. (10 pts)
