Blood Vessels Parental History of Hypertension Is Associated With Narrower Retinal Arteriolar Caliber in Young Girls
We aimed to assess the associations between parental history of hypertension and indicators of cardiovascular risk (retinal vessel diameter, presence of obesity, and elevated blood pressure) in prepubertal children. There were 1739 (77.7% of those eligible) 6-year–old students (863 girls and 876 boys) who were examined from a random cluster sample of 34 Sydney schools. Parents completed questio...

متن کاملAre narrower or wider retinal venules associated with incident hypertension?
Are Narrower or Wider Retinal Venules Associated With Incident Hypertension? To the Editor: Ikram et al1 reported recently that both retinal arteriolar and venular narrowing predict incident hypertension. The relationship between retinal arteriolar narrowing and incident hypertension has been clearly demonstrated in previous studies,2–4 but the reported association between retinal venular narro...
متن کاملRelationship of ocular biometry and retinal vascular caliber in preschoolers.
PURPOSE To systematically examine the association between ocular biometry and retinal vascular caliber in Singapore Chinese preschoolers aged 48 to 72 months. METHODS A total of 469 Singapore Chinese children aged 48 to 72 months were recruited through the Strabismus, Amblyopia and Refractive Error Study in Singaporean Chinese Preschoolers (STARS) from 2006 to 2008. According to standardized ...
متن کاملEvidence of arteriolar narrowing in low-birth-weight children.
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease may have its origins in utero, but the influence of in utero growth on microvascular structure in children is unknown. We hypothesized that poor in utero growth is associated with narrower arteriolar caliber, which may help explain the established association of low birth weight with hypertension and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. METHODS AND RESULTS We...
