Histogram representing frequency distribution of systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 82 non-hypertensive female subjects examined in the present study. SBP was determined by an automatic ambulatory pressure recording system (ABPM-630, Nippon Colin, Japan).

3. Fig. 2
Changes in systolic blood pressure (∠SBP) associated with transition of posture with and without wearing compression stockings. Position of the body is shown at the bottom. ∠SBP is calculated as the difference in SBP from the initial supine SBP. 82 subjects were divided into the following three groups by the magnitude of orthostatic SBP change: group I, ∠SBP≥20 mmHg; group II, 20 mmHg>∠SBP≥0 mmHg; and group III, 0 mmHg>∠SBP. In all the three groups the absolute value of ∠SBP immediately after standing was reduced significantly by wearing the stockings. *P<0.05, **P<0.01. (Paired t-test).
