Prepubescent and early pubescent obese children (n = 114, mean percent IBW = 165, mean age 7.3 years) were studied to determine the relationship of weight (WT), percent of ideal body weight (percent IBW), gender, and insulin (I) to systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure. ...
Gender: Men tend to have a higher likelihood of having hypertension than women; this likelihood is often dependent upon age and ethnicity. Obesity: BP increases as body weight increases, which also increases the chances of developing this disease. People who are overweight are two to six times ...
