An average of nearly seven blood pressure measurements per patient were taken during the study period, which helped to estimate the patient's actual blood pressure better. The ability to collect data over a long period of time, combined with the large number of patients, makes this the first ...
Boys (51%) and girls (49%) had initial blood pressure measurements in the hypertensive range. There was a correlation between the degree of obesity and systolic blood pressure, particularly in boys.Obese Irish children present with significant long-term health risks, including hypertension at ...
Hypertension, and the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, emphasized the risks associated with blood pressure readings that range between 130-139/80-89 mmHg.
High blood pressure (BP) has been well established as a leading risk factor for both cardiovascular disease and mortality in general. However, the effect of long-term exposure to elevated BP on mortality risks in Asian populations remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the...
infections49, years before any potential joint lesions50, resulting in negative selection and might thus represent a parallel between RA-associated inflammation in the Bronze Age and MS today, in which lifestyle changes have exposed previously favourable genetic variants as risks for autoimmune disease...
Multivariable analyses were adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, lipid-lowering therapy, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, menopausal status (women only), and hormone replacement therapy (women only). LDL cholesterol was corrected for...
Body composition measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is believed to be superior to crude measures such as BMI or waist circumference (WC) to assess health risks associated with adiposity in adults. We compared the ability of BMI, WC, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), percentage ...
Models were adjusted for age, sex, genetic ancestry, Townsend deprivation index, body mass index, height, physical activity, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, prevalent type 2 diabetes, smoking status, alcoholic drinks per week, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, ...
Little information is available concerning the association between sleep quality and blood pressure (BP) in Chinese individuals. This study evaluated the association between sleep quality, as determined by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and hypertension in a rural Chinese population. Using ...
