Lack of sleep doubles risk of high blood pressure in men over 70Lyndsay Buckland
Statistics also reveal that hypertension is a major contributing factor in deaths due to cardiovascular diseases. This is the reason to have anormal blood pressure in men over 50 years. High blood pressure must be considered a serious defect in the economy and appropriate consultation should be so...
An increase of systolic blood pressure by 10 mmHg and of diastolic blood pressure by 5 mmHg reduced the risk of falling by 9% (OR 0.91, 95% Cl 0.84-0.98) and 8% (OR 0.92, 95% Cl 0.85-0.99), respectively. In men, an increased risk of falls was observed in participants with low ...

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
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government Thursday eased restrictions on blood donations from gay men and other key groups because of a drop in the nation's blood supply triggered by the coronavirus outbreak.
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the circulation of the blood on the vessel walls of the body and lung circulation.1In everyday medical practice, this is usually understood to mean the arterial blood pressure of the large arteries.2Along with other vital parameters, blood pressure provi...

Intensive (<130/80 mm Hg) blood pressure (BP) lowering in older people might give greater reduction in cardiovascular risk, but there are concerns that this might produce hypoperfusion which may precipitate falls and possibly stroke. We determined the effect of intensive compared with usual BP ...
When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a heartbeat) and diastolic (the pressure between heartbeats). These measurements are typically recorded as one number over the other (e.g., 120/80 mmHg) with both values represented in mill...
