“…Alcohol relates close to obesity as it contains calories that may contribute to unwanted weight gain which is a risk factor for high blood pressure. BP increases progressively with increasing alcohol consumption showing a linear relationship [10]. The present study shows an increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressures in subjects consuming alcohol when compared to those who do not consume it.…”

Alcohol consumption is on the rise in developing countries like India. Alcohol enters the blood stream and gets distributed throughout the body and exerts its effects on several organ systems of the body. 100 male subjects were included in the study out of which 50 were grouped as controls who did not consume alcohol and 50 were cases who ingested alcohol. Examination was done to measure blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, visual acuity and intraocular pressure. Alcohol has a negative impact on the eye leading to a decrease in the visual performance and interference in daily tasks by decreasing the visual acuity and decreasing the intraocular pressure. It also exerts general effects on the body causing hypertension and dyspnea.

“…19 The effect of alcohol on BP appears to increase linearly with increasing levels of consumption. 20,21 People who drink three or more standard drinks a day have a two-to three-fold increase in the prevalence of mild hypertension compared with those who drink up to one drink a day. The effect of alcohol on BP is seen in all major ethnic groups, in both men and women, and with all types of alcohol beverages.…”

Hypertension is an easily diagnosed and eminently modifiable risk factor for the development of all clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis. Despite the availability of a simple, non-invasive, and rather accurate method of measuring blood pressure (BP), and overwhelming evidence that reducing BP effectively prevents cardiovascular events, hypertension at the population level is not managed optimally. In 1997/ 1998 and 2000/2001, two surveys for cardiovascular risk factors were conducted in nine districts of the Czech Republic, involving a 1% population random sample aged 25-64 years in each district. In concordance with the MONICA Project, the present study confirms a high prevalence of hypertension in the Czech population, detecting an increase in prevalence for the male population over a period of 3 years (males from 38.8 in

“…In most studies, however, the effects of such important confounding factors were not considered thoroughly. In our review of the literature we have found studies that were adjusted for age and obesity, [7][8][9]12,13,19,[23][24][25][26] alcohol consumption, 14,24,25 physical activities 8,9,26 blood chemistry. 14,24,25 Most studies were adjusted for age and obesity.…”

“…Different groups have reported that no association existed between smoking habit and blood pressure, [5][6][7][8][9] that blood pressure of smokers was lower than that of non-smokers, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] or that smoking raised blood pressure. [17][18] In addition, a dose-effect relationship between daily smoking amount and blood pressure was significant in some studies, [13][14][15] while others failed to confirm this finding.…”

An association between smoking habits and blood pressure in normotensive Japanese men

We conducted a cross-sectional study to clarify the dose-effect relationship of smoking habits with blood pressure in Japanese men. The subjects were 2781 normotensive male steelworkers ranging in age from 40 to 54 years. They were classified into five categories according to their smoking habits: non-smokers, exsmokers, light smokers, moderate smokers and heavy smokers. Age, body mass index, salt intake, physical activity, drinking habits, and levels of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, total serum cholesterol, uric acid, creatinine and plasma glucose were analysed as covariates. The association between smoking habits and blood pressure was evaluated using analysis of covariance. Our results showed that there was no significant differ-
