“…With the recent disclosure of the journals impact factors of 2014 by Thomson-Reuters, we verified that the Brazilian Archives of Cardiology maintained its Impact Factor (IF) at the same levels observed in recent years, contrary to the expected prospects since the publication of its first index five years ago 1 . A similar situation has also been observed regarding most journals with international scope published in Brazil, despite the many efforts by their editors to attract the publication of the best scientific quality articles, as well as to improve publication editorial quality.…”

“…Blood pressure was measured using an aneroid sphygmomanometer with a G-TECH ® Premium model. Both the measurement technique and the blood pressure classification were based on the VI Brazilian Guidelines for Hypertension from the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (SBC) for individuals 18 years and older[ 36 ], considering altered blood pressure (AP) when values are ≥ 130/85 mmHg.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the association between indicators of psychosocial stress and central adiposity in adult users of the Unified Health System (SUS) from Southeast of Brazil.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 384 adults (20 to 59 years old) from the city of Alegre, Southeastern Brazil. The simple random sample represented the population using the public health system of the municipality. The prevalence of obesity was based on the Body Mass Index, and central adiposity (dependent variable) was measured by waist circumference in centimeters. The independent variables were the following indicators of psychosocial stress: food and nutrition insecurity (yes/no), serum cortisol (μg/dL), symptoms suggestive of depression using the Beck Depression Inventory-II ≥ 17 (yes/no), and altered blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmHg (yes/no). Univariate linear regression was performed between central adiposity and each stress indicator, and later the models were adjusted for socioeconomic, health, and lifestyle variables. All analyses were made separately by rural and urban location.ResultsThe prevalence of weight excess, by the classification of the Body Mass Index ≥ 25.0 kg/m2, was 68.3% and, by waist circumference, 71.5% of individuals presented an increased risk for metabolic complications related to central adiposity. Mean waist circumference scores for the rural and urban population were 89.3 ± 12.7 cm and 92.9 ± 14.7 cm, respectively (p = 0.012). Indicators of stress that were associated with central adiposity were: cortisol in the rural population (β = -0.60; 95% CI = -1.09;-0.11) and altered blood pressure in the urban population (β = 6.66; 95% CI = 2.14;11.18). This occurred both in the raw analysis and in the models adjusted for confounding factors.ConclusionCentral adiposity was inversely associated with cortisol in the rural population and directly associated with higher arterial blood pressure in the urban population, suggesting a local influence on how individuals react to stress.

“…BP was measured after 5 minutes of rest on three separate days according to the VII Brazilian Hypertension Guidelines [ 15 ], using an aneroid sphygmomanometer (Wan Med) adapted to the circumference of the arm and a stethoscope (Littmann) placed over the brachial artery. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the ratio of weight to the square of height (kg/m 2 ), as described by Pollock and Wilmore [ 16 ].…”

Association of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphisms and physical fitness levels with plasma nitrite concentrations and arterial blood pressure values in older adults

et al. 2018

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphisms are associated with reduced eNOS activity and nitric oxide (NO) production leading to an increase in blood pressure (BP). Regular exercise is the main strategy to minimize the deleterious effects of polymorphisms. However, due to the differences that physical exercise can be performed, some controversial results are found. Therefore it seems reasonable to evaluate the training status (TS). Thus, this study aimed to investigate the association of eNOS gene haplotypes and different levels of TS on nitrite concentrations (NO2-) and BP values in older adult. 424 elderly performed the following assessments: General Functional Fitness Index (GFFI) to estimate TS, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), blood collection for analysis of NO2- and g.-786T>C, intron 4b/a (VNTR) and 894G>T polymorphisms. Multivariate logistic regression showed that NO2- was influenced by GFFI and 4b/4a Intron 4. Regarding BP, GFFI influenced SBP and DBP, and just intron 4 was associated with variations in DBP. It can be observed that GFFI affected the NO2-, SBP and DBP independently of haplotypes. Therefore, maintenance of good level of TS can overcome the negative influence of genetics factors (intron 4) by increasing NO2- concentration and decreasing BP values.
