Dairy consumption and hypertension: arterial stiffness and pulse pressure.
Dairy Consumption and Hypertension: Arterial Stiffness and Pulse Pressure To the Editor: We read with interest the meta-analysis of dairy consumption and hypertension by Soedamah-Muthu et al1 in the November 2012 issue of Hypertension. Using a stringent set of exclusionary criteria, a literature consisting of 1709 unique prospective studies of dairy and milk consumption was reduced to 9 studies...
متن کاملPulse pressure, arterial stiffness, and drug treatment of hypertension.
Epidemiological studies in the past decade have stressed the importance of pulse pressure as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We briefly review the epidemiological evidence and discuss in more detail the pathophysiological basis for this observation and the therapeutic consequences. We focus on the vascular determinants of increased pulse pressure. Both lon...
متن کاملThe Relation between Blood Pressure and Body Mass Index in Iranian School Age Children
Background: Association between body mass indexes (BMI) and blood pressure have been observed, but remains poorly understood. BMI is shown to be a measure of overweight status and is applicable to all populations. In this cross-sectional study we have examined the relationship between the BMI and blood pressure in school age children. Methods: This study comprised of 486 boys and 463 girls at a...
متن کاملBlood pressure profiles and hypertension in Iraqi primary school children.
OBJECTIVE To elucidate blood pressure (BP) levels and the prevalence of hypertension (HT); as well as to address some epidemiological variables which contributes to BP and suggest certain primordial guidelines for control and prevention of childhood HT. METHODS A cross-sectional study recruiting 1427 (46.1% boys versus 53.9% girls) school aged students (6-12 years) from 8 primary schools in B...
متن کاملAge-related abnormalities in arterial compliance identified by pressure pulse contour analysis: aging and arterial compliance.
The objective of this study was to evaluate age-related changes in pulsatile arterial function. Aging alters arterial pulsatile function and produces consistent changes in the pressure pulse contour. A reduced systemic arterial compliance that can be derived from analysis of the pulse contour is regarded as the best clinical index of impaired pulsatile arterial function and may mark the presenc...
