Genetic and environmental influences on blood pressure in elderly twins.
We used 289 pairs of Swedish twins reared apart or together to evaluate the importance of genetic and environmental influences on blood pressure. Unlike other twin and family studies, the adoption/twin design allows a distinction between estimates of the importance of shared rearing environments and genetic effects. Genetic factors were observed to play an important role for individual differen...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental influences on blood pressure and pulse pressure among adult African Americans.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to identify sources of variability for systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and pulse pressure (PP) in a sample of adult African-American twins. DESIGN The classic twin design was employed to examine genetic and environmental sources of variance in the outcome measures of interest. PARTICIPANTS Participants were 143 (7...
متن کاملMaternal and fetal influences on blood pressure.
To study maternal and fetal influences on blood pressure in childhood 405 children aged 4 years who were born and still resident in the Salisbury health district were visited at home for blood pressure and growth measurements. Information on the pregnancy, delivery, and baby was abstracted from the routine obstetric notes. Similar to recent findings in adults, the child's systolic pressure was ...
متن کاملRacial Differences Affecting Night Time Blood Pressure Dipping Groups in Hypertensive Patients.
BACKGROUND Normal blood pressure (BP) follows a circadian rhythm, with dipping of BP at night. However, little has been done to show how the dipping groups vary amongst the White and Asian population at different periods of the year. This study aims to examine the pattern of nocturnal dipping between the White and Asian population, as well as to compare it to the different timings of the year, ...
متن کاملModeling Daytime and Night Illumination
Modeling illumination of outdoor objects by natural light sources the Sun, the Moon and the stars is a very difficult problem due to highly complex physics of light rays and the Earth’s atmosphere. Although there are many studies in the literature on modeling of astronomic and atmospheric phenomena, of emission, scattering and absorption of light rays through the atmosphere, and of the illumina...
