“…Individuals with high increases of blood pressure during stressful tasks (reactivity) and those with high blood pressure in the recovery period after the tasks (recovery) showed greater odds of developing hypertension or increased blood pressure. This finding corroborates other findings of studies on the association between psychological stress and blood pressure increase 27,28,29 .…”

Effect of psychological stress on blood pressure increase: a meta-analysis of cohort studies

et al. 2009

Studies have suggested that chronic exposure to stress may have an influence on increased blood pressure. A systematic review followed by a meta-analysis was conducted aiming to assess the effect of psychological stress on blood pressure increase. Research was mainly conducted in Ingenta, Psycinfo, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria were: published in any language; from January 1970 to December 2006; prospective cohort design; adults; main exposure psychological/emotional stress; outcome arterial hypertension or blood pressure increase > 3.5mmHg. A total of 2,043 studies were found, of which 110 were cohort studies. Of these, six were eligible and yielded 23 comparison groups and 34,556 subjects. Median follow-up time and loss to follow-up were 11.5 years and 21%. Results showed individuals who had stronger responses to stressor tasks were 21% more likely to develop blood pressure increase when compared to those with less strong responses (OR: 1.21; 95%CI: 1.14-1.28; p < 0.001). Although the magnitude of effect was relatively small, results suggest the relevance of the control of psychological stress to the non-therapeutic management of high blood pressure.

Objective: Obesity is associated with multiple health problems and often originates in childhood. This study investigated the association of genes with the development of general and central obesity from childhood into adulthood. Design: Individual growth curves for measures of general adiposity were examined in an 11-year (1987-1998) cohort study. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 11 candidate genes were genotyped. Subjects: Five hundred and twenty-six subjects classified by race (49% African American (AA)), sex (47% male) and socioeconomic status (SES). Results: AA female carriers of the 27Glu allele in the ADRB2 gene had a larger waist circumference (Po0.05). Subjects of high SES with the ApoB 4145Lys allele had a larger mean waist circumference than those without this allele (Po0.05). Only in the presence of an adverse environment (low SES) did carriers of the NOS3 298Asp allele have a larger mean body mass index, waist circumference and sum of skinfolds (Po0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that several polymorphisms are associated with the mean level of adiposity, with the effects depending on other factors such as race, sex and/or SES.

Growth of Left Ventricular Mass in African American and European American Youth

Abstract-Increased left ventricular mass has been established as a strong risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To evaluate growth of left ventricular mass from childhood into early adulthood and its possible sociodemographic, anthropometric, and hemodynamic moderators, individual growth curves across age of left ventricular mass were created for 687 African American and European American males and females with a maximum of 10 annual assessments (age, 8.2 to 27.5 years). African Americans and males had significantly greater left ventricular mass (PϽ0.001) than did European Americans and females, respectively. Males also showed a larger rate of change in left ventricle mass than did girls (PϽ0.001). The ethnicity and gender effects on left ventricular mass only became apparent in early adolescence, and they persisted when controlling for socioeconomic status and anthropometric and hemodynamic variables. Body mass index and height were the strongest anthropometric predictors, and pulse pressure was the strongest hemodynamic predictor of left ventricular mass. Although significant, the contribution of pulse pressure to the prediction of left ventricular mass was small, once body mass index and height were entered into the model. The results of the present study suggest that increased left ventricular mass in boys and African Americans has its origin in late childhood. Apart from these ethnicity and gender effects, individual differences in cardiac growth can mainly be explained by body growth and increases in general adiposity.
