“…11,13,19 The study from the population of Monza 11 provided detailed information regarding BP measured by sphygmomanometric, home and ambulatory methods in 1438 subjects. However, levels of BP in apparently healthy subjects will vary between popu- hereditary and dietary factors, and the level of primary health care in the identification of patients with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases There were no differences in age but the males will be different in different populations.…”

The aims of this study were to determine 24 h blood step-wise regression with age, gender, weight and height showed age to be the best predictor of variation pressure (BP) levels in a sample taken from a normal British population, and to investigate factors contribuin office BP and awake and asleep diastolic BP. However, age accounted for only a small amount of the variting to variation within the sample. Two hundred and eighty-two Caucasian subjects, with no known hyperation and did not contribute towards the variation in systolic BP.

Objective: Turner's syndrome (TS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by complete or partial X chromosome monosomy in a phenotypic female, and it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality for cardiovascular diseases, impaired glucose tolerance, and dyslipidemia. Subjects and methods: In 30 adult TS patients under chronic hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), 17b-estradiol (E 2 ), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, fasting glucose and insulin, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) index, serum lipids, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and intima-media thickness (IMT) were evaluated and compared with those in 30 age-and sex-matched controls (CS). Results: No difference was found between TS and CS in E 2 and BMI, whereas waist circumference was higher (P!0.05) in TS (77.7G2.5 cm) than in CS (69.8G1.0 cm). Fasting glucose in TS and in CS was similar, whereas fasting insulin, HOMA index, and 2 h glucose after OGTT were higher (P!0.0005) in TS (13.2G0.8 mUI/l, 2.5G0.2, and 108.9G5.5 mg/dl respectively) than in CS (9.1G0.5 mUI/l, 1.8G0.1, and 94.5G3.8 mg/dl respectively). Total cholesterol was higher (P!0.05) in TS (199.4G6.6 mg/dl) than in CS (173.9G4.6 mg/dl), whereas no significant differences in highdensity lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides were found between the two groups. In 13% of TS, ABPM showed arterial hypertension, whereas IMT was !0.9 mm in all TS and CS. A negative correlation between insulin levels, HOMA index, or 2 h glucose after OGTT and E 2 was present in TS. Conclusions: Our results indicate that adult patients with TS under HRT are connoted by higher frequency of central obesity, insulin resistance, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension.

“…The correlation between values from these two measurement modalities is relatively low with reported coefficients of correlation around 0.5-0.7. [1][2][3] It is unsolved which measure is 'true', ie, which best reflects the 'usual' BP and prognosis. 4 The lack of identity between the two methods of measurement yields a group of patients with the combination of hypertensive office BP and normal ambulatory BP (ABP), which is generally referred to as 'white coat hypertension'.…”

“…Some studies make conversions for different gender and age groups separately, which makes the results less easy to handle in clinical practice. 2 Evidently, the varying cut-off levels give very large differences in the frequency of white coat hypertension, ie, 7-52%. [13][14][15][16] In the absence of large scale longitudinal studies and generally accepted cut-off values we have made the present analysis on BP and surrogate end-points with the purpose of examining the effect of different cut-off levels for the definition of normalcy and hence white coat hypertension.…”

The aim of this cross-sectional study which took place in a hypertension clinic at a district general hospital in Denmark was to make a pragmatic definition of white coat hypertension. A total of 420 patients were referred consecutively from general practice with newly diagnosed untreated essential hypertension and 146 normal subjects were drawn at random from the Danish national register. The following measurements were taken: office blood pressure; 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring; echocardiography with determination of left ventricular mass index and relative wall thickness; and early morning urine albumin/creatinine ratios.Four different cut-off levels were studied. An ambul-
