The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between blood pressure changes and anthropometric in...

متن کاملIs maternal blood pressure the key to vascular dysfunction in preterm offspring with elevated blood pressure?
An inverse association between birth weight and systolic blood pressure was first noted by Barker et al.1 Since then experimental studies have not only substantiated this finding but also provided insight into the potential mechanisms by which adverse influences during critical periods of fetal life lead to increased blood pressure and cardiovascular risk.2 Recent studies indicate that early po...

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 ...
