Raised blood pressure (BP) is the biggest contributor to mortality and disease burden worldwide fewer than half of those with hypertension are aware it. May Measurement Month (MMM) a global campaign set up in 2017, raise awareness high BP as pragmatic solution lack formal screening worldwide. The 2018 was expanded, aiming include more participants countries.
Elevated blood pressure remains the single biggest risk factor contributing to global burden of disease and mortality. May Measurement Month is an annual screening campaign aiming improve awareness at individual population level. Adults (≥18 years) recruited through opportunistic sampling were screened sites in 92 countries during 2019. Ideally, 3 readings measured for each participant, data on lifestyle factors comorbidities collected. Hypertension was defined as a systolic ≥140 mm Hg, or...
Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been shown to predict both risk and CVD events. We have identified sex‐specific values for the triglyceride/high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol ( TG / HDL ‐C) ratio associated with an unfavourable cardio‐metabolic profile, but it is not known whether also predicts outcome. Methods To quantify outcomes a high TG/HDL‐C compare this that predicted using MetS, population longitudinal prospective observational study was performed in Rauch City,...
This study compares the ability of an elevated triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, using sex-specific cut-points, to identify insulin-resistant individuals within a population without known cardiac disease or diabetes with that obtained diagnostic criteria metabolic syndrome (MetS). Measurements were made waist circumference (WC), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, insulin (FPI), TG HDL-C concentrations in 1102 women 464 men. These...
The aim of this study is to test the hypotheses that: 1) diagnosing metabolic syndrome does not effectively identify insulin-resistant (IR) individuals; and 2) waist circumference (WC) no better than body mass index (BMI) in predicting insulin resistance or components (MetS). Measurements BMI, WC, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, (FPI), triglycerides (TG), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations were made 1,300 adults, without known cardiovascular disease (CVD) drug treatment...
The aim was to evaluate the prevalence of nocturnal and masked hypertension prognostic values these blood pressure (BP) abnormalities in normotensive women coursing a high-risk pregnancy.The study performed pregnant with 20 or more weeks gestation pregnancy, sent specialized department perform prospective defined protocol BP evaluation. Women office at least 140/90 mmHg were excluded. An ambulatory monitoring identify (defined according current guidelines). adjusted risk for development...
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of isolated nocturnal hypertension (INH) and its relationships with office blood pressure (BP) categories defined by 2018 ESC/ESH guidelines. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study in consecutive patients referred to perform an ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) for diagnosis or therapeutic purposes. Office BP measurements ABPM were performed same visit. The was divided according optimal, normal, high-normal hypertension. adjusted risk combined...
The aim of this study was to test if hypertension detected by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) performed at mid-pregnancy, is a useful predictor for preeclampsia/eclampsia (PEEC).The in women coursing high-risk mid-pregnancies. Office (BP) estimated as the mean three values, taken specialized nurse after 15-min interview, and office defined least 140/90 mmHg. Immediately after, an ABPM started. Diurnal 135/85 mmHg during daily activities, nocturnal 120/70 night rest. adjusted risk...
Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize individuals with nondipping heart rate (HR) and assess the association between that pattern sleep quality during night an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Methods: Individuals who attended our Unit perform ABPM, from February 2022 May 2024, were asked about clinical epidemiological antecedents responded two validated surveys, ABPM in prior 30 days. Then, they categorized according presence a dipping nocturnal HR (defined as...
<title>Abstract</title> To investigate the relationship between blood pressure (BP) components (daytime vs. nocturnal BP and systolic diastolic BP) preeclampsia (PE) across gestational stages. We conducted a historical cohort study involving 1,363 high-risk pregnant women (mean age, 30 ± 7 years). Ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) was performed at 12–19 weeks (n = 389), 20–27 798), 28–36 1,176); 59.9%, 25.0%, 15.1% of participants underwent one, two, three ABPM evaluations, respectively. PE...
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that cardiovascular disease occurs greatest extent in persons with prediabetes mellitus who are also insulin resistant. In 2003, 664 non-diabetic women (n = 457) and men 207), aged 52 ± 16 53 15 years, were surveyed during a programme for prevention. Fasting plasma glucose concentrations defined participants as having normal fasting (fasting <5.6 mmol/L) or ⩾ 5.6 <7.0 mmol/L). tertile subjects highest concentration classified Baseline risk...
To determine if there is an office blood pressure (BP) value below which out-of-office measurements are unnecessary in high-risk pregnant women.We conducted a prospective cohort study women the second half of pregnancies. Office BP and ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) was performed. The divided according to quartiles normotension, white-coat hypertension, masked hypertension sustained hypertension. risks for preeclampsia/eclampsia each category were estimated.Three hundred seventy-three (30 ± 7...
Aims: To evaluate arterial stiffness indicators in people with prediabetes (PreD) and its possible pathogenesis. Materials methods: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured 208 FINDRISC ≥ 13 (57 ± 8 years old, 68.7% women) thereafter divided into those having either normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or PreD. In each subgroup we also identified with/out insulin resistance (IR) by the triglyceride/HDL-c ratio (normal cut off values previously established our population). Clinical metabolic data...
There is evidence that the plasma concentration ratio of triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) identifies insulin resistance and increased cardiometabolic risk outcome in apparently healthy individuals. Since use TG/HDL-C to accomplish this task persons over a wide range adiposity has not been studied, ability previously defined sex-specific cut-points identify was evaluated normal weight, overweight, obese Data were analyzed from population-based study men (n=416)...
