“…The prevalence of systolic hypertension was higher among men than women in the 60-74 year group, whereas that of diastolic hypertension was higher among women than men in the 80-90 year group. Lee and Lee (2012) have reported that the incidence of hypertension tended to increase with advancing age and was higher among men than among women. The Korean Society of Hypertension ( 2021) has reported lar results.…”

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure (BP), is a critical health issue that can cause cardiovascular disease. It is observed more frequently in older adults. Thus, this study aimed to identify the functional fitness and body composition factors that significantly influence both systolic and diastolic BPs in older adults. Data from 155,266 older adults (51,751 men [33.3%] and 103,505 women [66.7%]) who underwent functional fitness tests between 2013 and 2018 were analyzed. The following seven functional fitness tests were conducted: (a) aerobic endurance (2-min step), (b) upper body muscle strength (hand grip strength), (c) lower body muscle endurance (chair sit-and-stand), (d) flexibility (sit- and-reach), (e) agility (Timed Up and Go), and (f) body composition (body mass index [BMI] and body fat percentage). Systolic and diastolic BPs were used as outcome variables. In examining the proposed relationships, the regression analysis re-vealed that BMI, body fat percentage, sit-and-reach, 2-min step, hand grip, chair sit-and-stand, and Timed Up and Go were significantly associated with reduced systolic and diastolic body pressures.

Hypertension is one critical health issue causing cardiovascular diseases. There has been a common concern among health researchers that the prevalence of hypertension, known as high blood pressure, has been more frequently observed among people with intellectual disabilities, compared to the general population. Thus, this study aims to identify which health-related physical fitness and body composition factors are significantly related to both systolic and diastolic blood pressures among people with intellectual disabilities. The data from 2180 people with intellectual disability who conducted the physical fitness tests from 2019 to 2020 were used for this study. Four physical fitness tests (i.e., 3-min step, grip strength, sit-up, and sit and reach) and two body compositions (i.e., body mass index and body fat %) used as predictors, and two blood pressures (i.e., systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure) were used as outcome variables. A regression analysis was performed to examine the proposed associations. The regression test revealed that 3-min step, body mass index, and body fat % were significantly associated with both systolic blood pressure and diastolic body pressure. This research contributes to our understanding of the roles of body compositions and aerobic endurance in preventing hypertension among people with intellectual disability.

Objectives : Recently, people who have normal brachial blood pressure(BP) are being threatened by high-risk disease such as stroke. The aim of this study is to suggest that new method to assess systemic circulation. It can be performed by analyzing optimal blood pulse wave on 3 sites belonging to subjects that have normal BP. Methods : We respectively extracted main peaks(h1) of optimal blood pulse wave on left/right temporal artery(LR1=h1), radial artery(LR2=h1) and dorsalis pedis artery(LR3=h1). We obtained h1 from 30 subjects who are discreetly chosen and have normal BP. Main peak(h1) can be extracted by using 3D pulse imaging analyser(DMP-1000＋, DAEYOMEDI Co., Korea) that has 5-level pressure method. We analyzed the ratio of [LR1/LR2] and [LR3/LR2]. Results : In the case of male group, the results are [LR1/LR2=0.7100.177] and [LR3/LR2=0.9290.317]. In the case of female group, the results are [LR1/LR2=0.6680.121] and [LR3/LR2=0.7050.195]. Especially, it is statistically verified that the result of ratio [LR3/LR2] is much higher in male group than in female group(p＜0.05). Conclusions : We suggested the standard ratio of [LR1/LR2] and [LR3/LR2] for normal subjects, respectively. It can be adopted as a new method to evaluate the systemic circulation.
