Association between blood pressure changes and obesity in over-18
Introduction: Overweight and obesity are risk factors for developing many diseases such as hypertension. Furthermore, obesity indicators such as abdominal height, waist circumference and hip circumference can independently and sometimes more severely lead to blood pressure changes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between blood pressure changes and anthropometric in...
متن کاملObesity, insulin resistance, and nocturnal systolic blood pressure.
An increasing prevalence of obesity is observed in all age and ethnicity groups and is increasingly being recognized as a serious health problem in children and adolescents.1–4 Obesity is associated with a number of metabolic abnormalities, as well as increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD).3,4 In this issue of Hypertension, Lurbe et al5 reported a relationship between insulin resistanc...
متن کاملSystolic blood pressure and mortality.
BACKGROUND The current systolic blood-pressure threshold for hypertension treatment is 140 mm Hg for all adults. WHO and the International Society of Hypertension have proposed that normal pressure be lower than 130 mm Hg, with an optimum pressure of less than 120 mm Hg. These recommendations are based largely on the assumption that cardiovascular and overall mortality depend in a strictly incr...
متن کاملSystolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) and Target Systolic Blood Pressure in Future Hypertension Guidelines.
The Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP, mm Hg) Intervention Trial (SPRINT) showed that targeting SBP <120 mm Hg (intensive treatment, mean SBP: 121.5 mm Hg) versus <140 (standard treatment, mean SBP: 134.6 mm Hg) reduced cardiovascular events 25%. SPRINT has 2 implicit assumptions that could impact future US hypertension guidelines: (1) standard therapy controlled SBP similarly to that in adults with...
متن کاملBlood Pressure and Obesity
Previous surveys have shown that height of observed blood pressure and degree of overweight are related. However, excess weight does not necessarily mean excess fat and the possibility of error in the measurement of blood pressure due to variations in the size of the arm has not been excluded. The present survey, taking these factors into account, shows that blood pressure is influenced by the ...
