Why the study?
Do habitual physical exercise and aortic distensibility influence systolic blood pressure in adult males?
Do habitual physical exercise and aortic distensibility influence systolic blood pressure in adult males?
Habitual physical exercise may decrease systolic blood pressure by directly reducing aortic wall stiffness and indirectly decreasing diastolic blood pressure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May link habitual exercise to lower SBP via aortic distensibility; cross-sectional data leave causality open for prospective trials.
Kakiyama et al. (1998) studied this question.
