The association between alcohol and hypertension has been predominantly based on office blood pressure (BP) measurements. However, little is known about the effect of use nighttime BP underlying mechanisms. purpose this study was to investigate effects at-risk BP, urinary catecholamines, sleep quality in midlife adults. A total 32 men 30 postmenopausal women, free major clinical diseases nonsmokers (age: 58 ± 4; mean SD), were included. Among all participants, 22 currently taking...

Introduction: At-risk drinking is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) even in young adults. However, this association mainly based on offce blood pressure (BP) measurement. Ambulatory BP monitoring captures diurnal variation and a more sensitive CVD predictor than BP. Therefore, the purpose study to investigate effects at-risk ambulatory healthy adults normal Method: A total 20 men women (21-35 years), non-smokers, were included cross-sectional study. All...

Heavy alcohol drinking habits contribute to the development of hypertension; this is partly due overactivation sympathetic nervous system and increased release catecholamines. Recently, heavy has been linked poor sleep quality, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We postulated that long-term frequent use could increase catecholamine levels cause blood pressure dysregulation at night, altogether influencing quality. Therefore, purpose study test following hypothesis compared non-heavy...

Introduction: Age-associated increases in blood pressure are partly due to increased arterial stiffness and wave reflection. How these vascular changes during aging contribute daily fluctuations hypertension remain be elucidated. Therefore, the purpose of this study is compare ambulatory pressure, stiffness, reflection between young healthy adults, mid-life adults without hypertension, with hypertension. Methods: Twenty-five (age: 26 ± 4 yr body mass index [BMI]: 23.9 2.5 kg/m2) 31 57 BMI:...

Background: Cancer survivors have elevated risk for type 2 diabetes. Increasing physical activity improves glucose control. However, this evidence is majorly based on blood metrics (e.g., or hemoglobin A1c) at a single point in time. Little known about the effect of changes throughout day cancer survivors. Thus, we tested hypothesis that higher levels associated with more favorable daily pattern free-living settings. Methods: This preliminary analysis an ongoing randomized controlled trial...

Introduction: As our population ages, type 2 diabetes has become more prevalent in the United States and one five mid-life adults (50-64 years) have diabetes. Unhealthy heavy alcohol use (that exceeds recommended drinking limits) causes dysfunction of liver pancreas that can impact glucose control thereby increase risks In young adults, we previously found fasting insulin resistance were not associated with use. However, it remains unclear if contributes to development an aged population....

Introduction: Aging is associated with arterial stiffening which increases pressure reflection to the heart and contributes development of cardiovascular disease. However, most vascular aging studies have focused on comparing young adults versus 65 or older, comorbidities, such as hypertension obesity, confounded findings. The extent in healthy mid-life (age 50-64) unclear. Therefore, purpose this study was compare stiffness wave (18-35 years) adults. Methods: Twenty-six apparently healthy,...
