We have previously reported that blood pressure (BP) at age 70 predicted incident dementia in a birth cohort born 1901. It is known that BP in older adults has decreased in high﹊ncome countries during the last decades. The aim of this paper was to explore whether BP at age 70 still ...
No, kPa (kilopascals) and mmHg (millimeters of mercury) are not the same, but they are both units of pressure used to measure blood pressure. In a 2004 publication by Gianfranco Parati and their team in their paper “Blood pressure measurement in research and in clinical practice: recent evi...
In all cases, at least 70% of the measurements were suitable for analysis. We calculated mean 24-h systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP); mean, standard deviation and maximal values of awake and asleep SBP and DBP; and blood pressure load parameters as the ...
Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure” from Boston University School of Medicine published in 2003 on Journal of Hypertension, if a person has blood pressure within the range of [90/60] and [120/80], it means that the person has perfect blood pressure. ...

Abnormal blood pressure response to exercise Inappropriate systemicsystolic BPresponse to exercise testing has been associated with higher risk ofSCD. An abnormal response has been defined as failure to increase systolic BP by at least 20 mm Hg from rest to peak exercise or a fall of greater than...
As the leading cause of death worldwide, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) present major challenges for health systems. In this study, we analyzed the effects of better population blood pressure control in the context of a proposed 80-80-80 target: 80% of i
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBD, DBP) were measured twice at the assessment center by the use of an automated BP device (Omron 705 IT electronic blood pressure monitor; OMRON Healthcare Europe B.V. Kruisweg 577 2132 NA Hoofddorp), or manually by the use of a sphygmomanometer with...
A cross-sectional study of 1447 participants in Zixing, China, an area with heavy metal exposure, were evaluated to investigate a connection between lead exposure, blood pressure, and kidney function. The patients were divided into two groups: low blood lead level (0–100 μg/L) and high bl...
