Relation of low body mass to death and stroke in the systolic hypertension in the elderly program. The SHEP Cooperative Research Group.
BACKGROUND There are scant data on the effect of body mass index (BMI) (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) on cardiovascular events and death in older patients with hypertension. OBJECTIVE To determine if low body mass in older patients with hypertension confers an increased risk of death or stroke. PATIENTS Participants were 3975 men and women (mea...
متن کاملBody mass index, weight change, and death in older adults: the systolic hypertension in the elderly program.
The relation between relative weight and health differs between young and old. In older populations, weight change may cloud the association between a single relative weight and health outcomes. To determine whether weight or weight change is a more important determinant of mortality in a population of older adults, the authors analyzed data from the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program...

The pilot study of the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of drug therapy for isolated systolic hypertension. It followed 551 elderly participants with untreated blood pressures of greater than 160/less than 90 mm Hg for an average of 34 months. Mean age of the participants was 72 years; 63% were women, and 82% were white. Pretr...

15 صفحه اولSystolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program (SHEP). Part 5: Baseline blood pressure and pulse rate measurements.
In preparation for blood pressure determination, the midarm circumference was measured on the bared right upper arm, with the participant standing. The appropriate size cuff was then selected from a chart of arm circumference measurements and corresponding cuff sizes (Table 5.1) (SHEP Blood Pressure Manual). Measurements of blood pressure and pulse rate were performed only after the participant...
