INFANTBP.DAT is available here. The etiology of high blood pressure remains a subject of
active investigation. One widely accepted hypothesis is that excessive sodium intake adversely
affects blood-pressure Data set available outcomes. To explore this hypothesis, an experiment
was set up to measure responsiveness to the taste of salt and to relate the responsiveness to
blood-pressure level. The protocol used involved giving 3-day-old infants in the newborn
nursery a drop of various solutions, thus eliciting the sucking response and noting the vigor with
which they sucked-denoted by MSB (mean number of sucks per burst of sucking). The content
of the solution was changed over 10 consecutive periods: (1) water, (2) water, (3) 0.1 molar salt
+ water, (4) 0.1 molar salt + water, (5) water, (6) water, (7) 0.3 molar salt + water, (8) 0.3 molar
salt + water, (9) water, (10) water. In addition, as a control, the response of the baby to the taste
of sugar was also measured after the salt-taste protocol was completed. In this experiment, the
sucking response was measured over five different periods with the following stimuli: (1)
nonnutritive sucking, that is, a pure sucking response was elizited without using any external
substance; (2) water; (3) 5% sucrose + water; (4) 15% sucrose + water; (5) nonnutritive sucking.
The data for the first 100 infants in the study are given in Data Set INFANTBP.DAT. The format
of the data is given below.
