The aim of the present study was to determine the association of overall adiposity (OVRAD, percent total fat mass contr...
متن کاملBody mass index predicts plasma aldosterone concentrations in overweight-obese primary hypertensive patients.
CONTEXT Body mass index (BMI) shows a direct correlation with plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and urinary aldosterone excretion in normotensive individuals; whether the same applies to hypertensive patients is unknown. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine if BMI predicts PAC and the PAC/plasma renin activity ratio [aldosterone renin ratio (ARR)] in hypertensive patients, and if thi...
