Blood Pressure and Happiness

Researchers at Warwick University have discovered a strong correlation between a country's happiness and its blood pressure problems.
Do you think that Blood Pressure should be a measure of happiness?

Yes it can be, not completely, but among one of the measures of happiness.

when i see a beautiful girl i get happy and when she looks at me the heart skips a beat and the BP rises so u see BP could be related to being happy but the root cause is that beautiful girl twist in the research, please tell the Warwick fellows ;) LOLZZZZZZZZZZZ

if contrast to happiness is worry ...which brings high tension ,raises adrenaline and contributes to blood pressure ..then that is true on the other hand ..depression which also brings unhappiness wiil not raise your pressure . other contributors to high blood pressure are obesity . smoking and race ( eg . african americans have a genetic disposition for extremely high blood pressure which often kills them at young age of 30 sometimes )

Empirical correlationships speak volumes about the methodology of such surveys, rather than the issue surveyed. What is the finding? Happness and BP are inversely related or other way round. Both ways, it could be rationalised. It is simpliflying a complex problem.
