“…Obesity and overweight among postmenopausal women are common and have been reported to be influenced by diet, a lack of physical activity, hormonal changes, age, parity, education, age at menarche, cigarette use, occupation, monthly income, age during the first and last pregnancy, and a high-calorie diet (14). Early menarche is related to a higher body mass index (BMI) and early exposure to high levels of oestrogen, while late menarche is linked to late exposure to low levels of oestrogen, which is associated with blood pressure (15).…”

ObjectivesIn postmenopausal states, women may not maintain blood pressure (BP) in the same way as men, even though most women follow their treatment plans and prescriptions more consistently than men. Biological and lifestyle factors influence the progression of hypertension in postmenopausal women (PMW). This study aimed to determine biosocial predictors associated with achieving the target BP in PMW with hypertension.MethodsA prospective observational study was conducted in the General Medicine Department at Karuna Medical College Hospital, Kerala, India. The definition of BP goal attainment was established based on the guidelines outlined by the VIII Joint National Committee 2014 (JNC VIII). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyse biosocial predictors, such as educational status, employment status, body mass index (BMI), number of children, age at menarche, age at menopause, and number of co-morbidities, associated with BP goal achievement.ResultsOf the patients, 56.4% achieved their BP goals on monotherapy and 59.7% achieved it on combination therapy. Level of education [odds ratio (OR) = 1.275, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.234–7.172], employment status (OR = 0.853, 95% CI: 0.400–1.819), age at menopause (OR = 1.106, 95% CI: 0.881–1.149), number of children (OR = 1.152, 95% CI: 0.771–1.720), BMI (OR = 0.998, 95% CI: 0.929–1.071), and number of co-morbidities (OR = 0.068, 95% CI: 0.088–1.093) did not show a significant relationship, and age at menarche (OR = 1.577, 95% CI: 1.031–2.412) showed a significant association with BP goal attainment among hypertensive postmenopausal women.ConclusionHalf of the hypertensive postmenopausal women did not achieve their BP goals. Interventions are required to expand screening coverage and, under the direction of medical professionals, there should be plans to improve hypertension control and increase awareness of the condition.

The diagnosis of hypertension (HTN) has been known to doctors for many years. Current clinical guidelines represent a unified approach to the treatment and prevention of hypertension in patients of both sexes. Meanwhile, there are data that the development, course, progression and treatment of the disease may differ depending on sex.The aim of the review was to systematize modern ideas about sex differences in hypertension, as well as to substantiate the differentiated treatment among men and women. A literature search for 2013-2023 was conducted in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Scholar, eLibrary databases using the search phrase "sex differences in hypertension".This work reflects current data regarding sex-specific differences in hypertension, including its development, blood pressure regulation, sex characteristics of risk factors, target organ damage, and features of antihypertensive treatment. Differentiated approach considering sex differences may provide novel strategies for preventing the progression of cardiovascular disease.
