Regression models were used to estimate the effects of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) on SBP and DBP. Each increase of 1 year in age and 1 kg/m2 of BMI is significantly associated, respectively, with an increase of 20% (p = .002) and 17% (p = .008) in the risk of ...
MmHg represents the height to which the pressure in the blood vessels can push a column of mercury in a manometer or sphygmomanometer, which are devices used to measure blood pressure. When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a hea...
High blood pressure (also called hypertension) is incredibly common. About half of adults have high blood pressure, but only one in four have it under control, according to theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). Many people don’t even know that they have high blood pressure, si...
The diastolic blood pressure, on the other hand, corresponds to the lower blood pressure value (in the above example: 80 mmHg) and indicates the minimum pressure in the heart filling phase (relaxation phase = diastole).Blood pressure: normal values and deviations Depending on age, different blo...
Children are defined as hypertensive when their blood pressure values equal or exceed the 95th percentile of the blood pressure value distribution in a pediatric population, according to gender, age and height. The population on which reference tables are based is of fundamental importance to establis...

Quantile regression model was used to assess the need for weight adjustment in different percentiles of systolic and diastolic BPs with age, gender, and the corresponding weight percentiles. Then, Age- and sex-specific BP nomograms were developed according to weight. Results: All the regression ...
The associations between blood pressure and cannabis use remain inconsistent. The purpose of our study was to examine gender stratified associations of cannabis use and blood pressure [systolic, diastolic blood pressure (BP), pulse pressure (PP)] levels among the general UK Biobank population based ...
