[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST yzAxR0xL. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Previous studies among American and European populations have demonstrated larger blood pressure responses to behavioral challenges among men and hypertensive individuals. This is the first report of cardiovascular responses to behavioral challenges in a West African population. Blood pressure and heart rate changes in mirror image tracing and speech making tasks were recorded for 787 Nigerian civil servants participating in a comprehensive blood pressure survey conducted in Benin City, Nigeria, during 1992. Similar to findings in other populations, greater task-induced increases in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were present among men than women (mean values of SBP=22.1 vs. 18.3 mmHg, p
