But African-Americans of normal weight appear to have higher rates of hypertension and diabetes than whites of normal weight. 'The question is, should [measures] for defining diabetes be different or the same for the [different] populations and are they associated with the same risk of cardiovascular disease?' said Dr. Correa. The collaboration, he said, may provide better comparisons.

然而体重正常的非洲裔美国人相比体重正常的白人似乎有更高的高血压及糖尿病患病率。“问题在于，定义糖尿病（的手段）对于（不同的）人群来说应该是相同的还是不同的？他们面临的心血管疾病危险是否是相同的？”科雷亚如是说。他说这个合作项目也许会提供更好的比较。

Researchers, who plan to use tools other than genetics, think more might be learned about blood pressure and heart and stroke risk by monitoring patients in real time using mobile devices rather than taking readings only in periodic office visits. For example, high blood pressure during sleep or spikes during exercise could indicate risks that don't show up in a routine measurement in the doctors' office.

研究人员还打算利用遗传学之外的其它工具。他们认为，通过利用移动设备对病人进行实时监测而不是只在病人定期到诊室就诊时才读取数据，人们可以对血压、心脏和中风了解得更多。比如，睡眠期间血压升高或者运动期间血压陡增可能预示着危险，这在医生诊室的常规测量中是不会出现的。
