Exogenous stressors, in conjunction with endogenous factors, impact blood pressure trajectories over the life course to a larger extent in women than in men.
Abstract Recent studies that have analyzed longitudinal data on blood pressure (BP) have led to a rapidly evolving understanding of sex differences in vascular aging phenotypes. We summarized the different BP trajectories in women and in men over the life course, and the accumulating evidence indicating that the effect of exogenous stressors, in conjunction with endogenous factors, impact BP trajectories to a larger extent in women than in men.
