A team of researchers from Tulane University, in their article “High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Disease” published in the Journal of Hypertension, highlights that abnormal blood pressure readings, whet
genderIn a large group of young (n = 194) and elderly (n = 148) healthy subjects, we explored the relationship between ambulatory blood pressure (BP) levels, within-subject BP variability, and age in men and women. The questions asked were: Do elderly subjects display higher BP levels ...
The levels of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure show continuous, graded relationships with cardiovascular risk (MacMahon et al., 1990), but the strength of the association diminishes with age (Lewington et al., 2002). So, for example, a 20 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure ...
Blood pressure readings have two numbers, which are read as one number “over” the other. These numbers show the highest and lowest levels of pressure in your arteries during the blood pressure reading. For example: 110/70 mm Hg. Blood pressure is measured in mm Hg, which stands for mill...

Advanced age The older you are, the more likely you are to get high blood pressure. Drinking too much alcohol Heavy drinkers are also more likely to develop hypertension. An unhealthy diet Consuming too much salt and saturated fats may increase blood pressure levels. ...

The level of blood pressure depends on both numerous physiological factors such as age, health status and gender, as well as external conditions, which are described in more detail below. Blood pressure during the course of the day Blood pressure is subject to large fluctuations during the course...
Blood pressure was measured by general practitioners within the Vorarlberg Health Monitoring and Prevention Programme (VHM&PP) 90 to 1095 days before the fall assessment. A multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted. The models were stratified by gender and adjusted by age, number of medical...
Other variables suspected of having an association with the presentation of AD symptoms were also compared between the symptomatic and silent AD groups. These include gender, age, injury duration, injury level, complete- ness of injury, maximal intra-vesical pressure, maximal urethral pressure, onset...
