Familial factors of blood pressure and adiposity covariation.
In the present study, we used the maximum likelihood approach as implemented by variance analysis and attempted to quantify genetic and environmental components of variance in systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure in 514 individuals who belonged to a total of 135 nuclear families of Chuvasha, Russia, ethnic origin. The extent to which these interindividual differences depend on age,...

METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a school-based survey of a representative sample of youth aged 9, 13, and 16 years in Quebec, Canada. Resting BP was measured with an osci...
متن کاملAdiposity and Blood Pressure in 110 000 Mexican Adults
Previous studies have reached differing conclusions about the importance of general versus central markers of adiposity to blood pressure, leading to suggestions that population-specific adiposity thresholds may be needed. We examined the relevance of adiposity to blood pressure among 111 911 men and women who, when recruited into the Mexico City Prospective Study, were aged 35 to 89 years, had...
متن کاملACE I/D genotype, adiposity, and blood pressure in children
BACKGROUND Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a possible candidate gene that may influence both body fatness and blood pressure. Although several genetic studies have been conducted in adults, relatively few studies have examined the contribution of potential candidate genes, and specifically ACE I/D, on adiposity and BP phenotypes in childhood. Such studies may prove insightful for the dev...
