“…A study in Spain however failed to find a positive association between BP control and family support. [ 38 ] A number of reasons may be adduced for the observed difference. First, the population in the Spanish study comprised elderly only (60 years and above).…”

“…Social isolation probably from the death of a partner at this stage of life can limit their receipt of social support, and this can cause an increase in BP. Second, while the former studies used a standardized tool[ 32 ] and focus group discussion[ 8 37 ] in assessing family support, the Spanish study[ 38 ] subjectively assessed the level of support using participants’ frequency of contact with a friend thus reducing its internal and external validity.…”

Context:Nonadherence to therapeutic plans has been reported among hypertensive patients. Researchers have also shown that adherence to therapeutic plans improves if motivation in the form of social support is provided. There is a dearth of local studies that explore the influence of family support on treatment outcomes of hypertensive patients.Aims:The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between BP control and perceived family support in patients with essential hypertension seen at a primary care setting in Western Nigeria.Settings and Design:This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study.Subjects and Methods:Systematic random sampling technique was used in selecting 360 hypertensive respondents between April and July 2013. Data were collected through a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire and a standardized tool, Perceived Social Support Family Scale, which measured the respondents’ level of perceived family support.Statistical Analysis Used:Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 was used to analyze data.Results:The majority of the respondents were middle-aged (61.1%) and female (59.4%). Blood pressure (BP) was controlled in 46.4% of the respondents. Most of the respondents (79.4%) had “strong” perceived family support. Strong perceived family support (odds ratio [OR] 4.778, 95% confidence interval [CI] =2.569–8.887) and female gender (OR 1.838, 95% CI = 1.177–2.869) were independent predictors of controlled BP.Conclusions:The proportion of hypertensive patients with optimal BP control is low in this practice setting. The positive association between BP control and perceived family support emphasizes the need for physicians to reflect on the available family support when managing hypertensive patients.

ObjectiveTo study the prevalence of social support (SS) and its influence on the relative risk (RR) of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in the female population aged 25–64 in Russia.Materials and methodsUnder the third screening of the WHO “MONICA-psychosocial” programme, a random representative sample of women aged 25–64 (n=870) were surveyed in Novosibirsk. SS was measured according to the methods of the Berkman–Sym test [indices of close contacts (ICC) and index of social network (SNI)]. From 1995 to 2010, women were followed for 16 years to observe the incidence of MI and stroke.ResultsThe prevalence of low levels of ICC and SNI in women aged 25–64 was 57.1 and 77.7%, respectively. Low levels of ICC and SNI were associated with poor self-rated health and awareness about their health, adverse behavioral habits, high job strain and family stress.Rates of MI and stroke development were higher in married women with low ICC and SNI who were being in class “hard manual work”. Over a 16-year study period, the RR of MI in women with low ICC compared to those with high ICC was 4.9 times higher, and the risk of stroke was 4.1 times higher. Low level of SNI increased MI risk in 2.9 times, risk of stroke in 2.7 times.ConclusionMajority of women aged 25–64 years in Russia have low social support which is associated with poor self-rated health, low awareness about the health that increases the risk of MI and stroke in 2.7–4.9 times in groups of “married” and “hard physical work”.

“…In addition, we modeled mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure outcomes without the log transformation, as an effect size in units of absolute blood pressure change may be more clinically interpretable. Finally, acknowledging prior studies that showed a differential social network effect by gender ( Bland et al, 2019 , Redondo-Sendino et al, 2005 , Stringhini et al, 2012 ), we also repeated the log-transformed analyses restricting to only female participant surveys so as to isolate the size of the association among women. We used regression diagnostics to assess model assumptions and undue influence.…”

Social networks – or the web of relationships between individuals – may influence cardiovascular disease risk, particularly in low-income urban communities that suffer from a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Our objective was to describe the social networks of public housing residents – a low-income urban population – in Baltimore, MD and the association between these networks and blood pressure. We used cross-sectional survey data of randomly selected heads of household in two public housing complexes in Baltimore, MD (8/2014–8/2015). Respondents answered questions about 10 social network members, including attributes of their relationship and the frequency of interaction between members. We calculated measures of network composition (e.g., proportion of network members who were family members) and network structure (e.g., density), which we then dichotomized as “high” (upper quartile) and “low” (less than upper quartile). We used linear regression to test the association between network measures and mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The sample included 259 respondents (response rate: 46.6%). Mean age was 44.4 years, 85.7% were women, 95.4% Black, and 56.0% had a history of hypertension. A high proportion of older children (age 8–17 years) in the network (>30%) was associated with a 4.0% (95%CI [0.07, 8.07], p = 0.047) higher mean systolic blood pressure (~4.9 mmHg greater). Other network attributes had no association with blood pressure. Social network attributes, such as having a high proportion of older children in one’s network, may have particular relevance to blood pressure among low-income public housing residents, reinforcing the potential importance of social relationships to cardiovascular health.
