Low blood pressure mainly affects younger people, especially women. In contrast to hypertension (see above), there is only a need for action such as drug therapy in the case of hypotension if the patient’s symptoms cause increased suffering. However, since low blood pressure can also be cause...
MmHg represents the height to which the pressure in the blood vessels can push a column of mercury in a manometer or sphygmomanometer, which are devices used to measure blood pressure. When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a hea...

33 In that meta-analysis study,33 weight gain was associated with a worse prognosis among men than among women. In a prospective cohort study34 of Ethiopian children, weight gain from 48 to 60 months and weight at 60 months were associated with hypertension risk. In children with obesity, ...
Little is known about whether high-normal blood pressure (BP) carries a different risk for CVD in women and men. PURPOSE. The aim of the current study was to test associations of high-normal BP with CVD in women and men participating in the community-based Hordaland Health Study (HUSK). ...
