ABSTRACT DR. PERCY STOCKS' work entitled “Blood Pressure in Early Life” immediately strikes one as filling a long-experienced gap in medical literature. Systolic and diastolic blood
pressures are, indeed, taken to-day almost as a routine in the medical examination of a patient, and yet it is notorious how hazy are the conceptions of the normal range of these at
different ages. Especially is this the case in childhood and adolescence. The principal aims of the author, therefore, were to investigate the behaviour of blood pressure during the period
of puberty and adolescence, to ascertain the normal range of systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressures at ages from 5 to 40, and to examine the interrelation between these pressures and their
correlation with pulse rate, physical development, muscular strength, respiratory and psychological factors, social-class and athletic habits of life. _Department of Applied, Statistics:
