Gender-related differences in the relationships between blood pressure, age, and body size in prepubertal children.
BACKGROUND The blood pressure (BP) increase with age is well documented in adults and children. However, in the pediatric age group, body size is the most important determinant of age-related BP increases. The aim of the present analysis was to investigate the relationships between age, gender, and body size and BP in children. METHODS To this purpose, data were analyzed from 4,514 prepuberta...
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...

course, significant and warrants careful clinical consideration because this technique could exacerbate hypoxemia in the child with transposition; but the potential advantage of this technique is the ability to eliminate the afterload rapidly. Further experimental work is necessary to determine the minimal afterload requirements to induce sufficient myocardial hypertrophy to sustain the increas...
متن کاملAge-Related Differences in Systolic Blood Pressure Recovery after a Maximal-Effort Exercise Test in Non-Athletic Adults
The present study investigated the rate of systolic blood pressure recovery (SBPR) amongst three male age groups. Ninety-six apparently healthy, non-athletic adult males (48 young [23.91±4.58 years], 32 middle-aged [41.78±5.98 years] and 16 elderly [62.87±2.57 years]) participated in the study. Subjects performed a maximal-effort ergometer exercise test. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was measu...
متن کاملBlunted nocturnal fall in blood pressure and oxidative stress in men and women with essential hypertension.
Low-density lipoprotein oxidation and antioxidant vitamins E and C were investigated in dipper (nocturnal blood pressure fall > 10%) and nondipper (nocturnal blood pressure fall < 10%) hypertensives. We studied 40 dippers and 28 nondippers balanced for gender, age, and body mass index. Blood samples were drawn for lipid profile determination, assessment of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance...
