May prioritize BP control over adiposity focus for diastolic dysfunction in obese communities; hypothesis-generating for prospective trials.
In a community with high obesity prevalence, blood pressure has a greater impact on left ventricular diastolic dysfunction than excess adiposity, highlighting the importance of rigorous BP management.
Millen et al. (2014) studied this question.
