prehypertension/obesity

OBJECTIVE Since many years in adults associations between dyslipidaemia, increased insulin resistance, arterial hypertension and the risk for cardiovascular diseases have been recognized. It was the aim of the present trial to investigate these associations and interactions between height, weight,

OBJECTIVE Obesity is an important risk factor for prehypertension and hypertension, and there are sex-specific differences in prevalences of obesity and hypertension. The aim of this study was to determine whether sex influences the relationships of obesity with prehypertension and

BACKGROUND Over the past 30 years, there has been a dramatic increase in the prevalence of childhood obesity and hypertension in the United States. The prevalence of these diagnoses among individuals participating in school-sanctioned sports has not been clearly defined. OBJECTIVE To identify the

This longitudinal study examined the rates of overweight, elevated blood pressure, acanthosis nigricans, and their associated factors in third through fifth grade students over 4 years. Participants consisted of 279 students who participated in health screenings in 2002 and 2006. Hispanic students

Obesity is known to correlate with measures of blood pressure (BP). The nature of the correlations has, however, remained a subject of scientific enquiry, especially when BP phenotypes are disaggregated and obesity is determined by a variety of methods. This study examined the relationship between

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to examine the association of obesity and elevated blood pressure among adolescent patients in a pediatric resident continuity clinic. METHODS Blood pressure and anthropometric data from adolescent patients (ages 12-18 years) in a resident continuity clinic

BACKGROUND Childhood obesity has increased markedly during the past decades; however, data on the prevalence of severe obesity in children and adolescents are limited. The present study examined the prevalence of severe obesity and its association with elevated blood pressure (BP) among children and

Objective: To investigate the association between the combined effect of spermarche/menarche and obesity with elevated blood pressure among Chinese students. Methods: A total of 106 009 primary and secondary school students (55 614 boys and 50 395 girls) were selected from " 2014 National Physical

BACKGROUND Considering that prehypertension is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk, hypoadiponectinemia seems to be a predictor of hypertension. OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether adiponectin plasma levels are affected in Brazilian obese prehypertensives compared with those in

BACKGROUND Waist circumference (WC) and related anthropometric indices have been recognized as useful measures of abdominal obesity. However, little is known about the association of waist-to-sitting-height ratio (WSHtR) with obesity and elevated blood pressure (BP). METHODS Data for this study were

BACKGROUND To identify anthropometric and fitness correlates of elevated blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and glycated hemoglobin, we examined anthropometric and physiologic biomarkers among racial/ethnic minority children aged 11 to 13 years in two urban Los Angeles middle schools. We explored

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of hypertension among a group of adolescents and to assess the relationship of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) with body fat mass (BFM), body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). A total of 167 subjects aged 11-17 years were

Obesity, elevated blood pressure (BP), and diabetes mellitus are rising among the general U.S. adolescent population, but prevalence estimates are not available for uninsured or Medicaid populations. This retrospective epidemiological study extracted 155,139 electronic medical records collected

The major goal of this study was to determine if the elevated blood pressures in obese men < 45 years old with mild hypertension persist outside the clinic. A secondary aim was to determine if hyperinsulinemia is associated with accentuated diurnal changes of blood pressure. To address these
