Key result
Young men with high-normal blood pressure had a faster heart rate (70 vs 63 bpm; P=0.005), lower serum adiponectin (6.4 vs 7.5 mg/l; P=0.007), and smaller LDL size than men with optimal BP.
Why the study?
Does high-normal blood pressure correlate with adverse metabolic and autonomic markers compared to optimal blood pressure in young healthy men?
Cross-Sectional (n=198)
Does high-normal blood pressure correlate with adverse metabolic and autonomic markers compared to optimal blood pressure in young healthy men?
Young men with high-normal blood pressure exhibit early signs of metabolic and autonomic dysfunction, including faster heart rate, lower adiponectin, and smaller LDL size, independent of BMI.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High-normal BP associates with adverse markers in young men; leaves open whether these predict progression or merit intervention.
Kazumi et al. (2002) conducted a cross-sectional in High-normal blood pressure (n=198). High-normal blood pressure vs. Optimal blood pressure was evaluated on Heart rate, serum adiponectin, and LDL particle size. Young men with high-normal blood pressure had a faster heart rate (70 vs 63 bpm; P=0.005), lower serum adiponectin (6.4 vs 7.5 mg/l; P=0.007), and smaller LDL size than men with optimal BP.
