Analysis of differences in blood pressure of women belonging to different age groups

Abstract

The programmes of prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases should decrease the influence of risk factors and improve diagnostics and therapy of cardiovascular diseases.

Assessments of Anthropometric, Physiological and Fitness Indicators According to Sex and Age in Participants of a Swimming Program

“…e mean values in these variables for both sexes correspond to parameters that are representative of overweight and obesity, due to an excess of body fat in both men and women and according to age (Corvos-Hidalgo & Corvo-Hidalgo, 2013). In the case of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the parameters reported in this study as unhealthy correspond to a condition of prehypertension (Castillo et al, 2011;Škrkar et al, 2015). Pre-hypertension, as well as unhealthy body mass index and fat percentage, can be considered as cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome (Liu et al, 2013;Tejero, 2010).…”

“…In the case of age, the processes of aging affect the functionality of the organism. It has been reported that younger people more frequently show values considered as healthy in the anthropometric (Rivera-Cabezas & Ureña-Bonilla, 2014;Rodríguez-Montero et al, 2014) and physiological variables (Campos-Nonato et al, 2013;Škrkar et al, 2015). In contrast, in physical qualities, age causes a decrease in performance as it increases (Vaquero et al, 2012;Zaragoza et al, 2004).…”

“…Authors like Campos-Nonato et al (2013) and Restrepo, Agudelo, Conde & Pradilla (2012) evaluated SBP and DBP in young adults. Instead, Škrkar, Mikalack, Cokorilo & Eric (2015) assessed groups of women, generally reporting in the previous studies that unhealthy parameters corresponded to values higher than 130 mm/hg in SBP and higher than 90 mm/hg in DBP, these being related to symptoms of prehypertension and arterial hypertension (Beaney et al, 2018;Tejedo, 2010).…”
