Key result
Lower HMW adiponectin is linked to higher blood pressure and increased hypertension prevalence in men.
Why the study?
Is serum high-molecular weight adiponectin associated with blood pressure and the prevalence of hypertension in non-diabetic community-dwelling adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=1,393)
No
Is serum high-molecular weight adiponectin associated with blood pressure and the prevalence of hypertension in non-diabetic community-dwelling adults?
Lower serum high-molecular weight adiponectin concentrations are independently associated with higher blood pressure and hypertension prevalence in community-dwelling men, but not women.

Suggests sex-specific biomarker potential in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and warrants prospective studies to confirm relevance.
Kawamoto et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Prehypertension and hypertension (n=1,393). Serum high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin was evaluated on Prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension, and systolic/diastolic blood pressure. Lower serum HMW adiponectin concentrations were inversely associated with blood pressure and positively associated with prehypertension and hypertension in the general male population.
