Key result
Greater body height was associated with larger cardiovascular changes during anti-orthostatic tilting, and in males, 24-h ambulatory mean arterial pressure increased with height (P=0.004).
Why the study?
Does body height correlate with cardiovascular changes during anti-orthostatic tilting and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure in young adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=104)
Does body height correlate with cardiovascular changes during anti-orthostatic tilting and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure in young adults?
Effect estimate: r = 0.40
p-value: p=0.004
Larger body height is associated with more pronounced cardiovascular changes during anti-orthostatic tilting and higher 24-h ambulatory mean arterial pressure in young adult males.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Height-associated orthostatic changes and male MAP elevation should not change practice; hypothesis-generating for longitudinal confirmation.
Arvedsen et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy individuals (n=104). Body height vs. Shorter individuals was evaluated on 24-h ambulatory mean arterial pressure correlation with body height in males (r = 0.40, p=0.004). Greater body height was associated with larger cardiovascular changes during anti-orthostatic tilting, and in males, 24-h ambulatory mean arterial pressure increased with height (P=0.004).
