Association of C-reactive protein with blood pressure and hypertension: life course confounding and mendelian randomization tests of causality.
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) has repeatedly been associated with blood pressure and prevalent and incident hypertension, but whether a causal link exists is uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed the cross-sectional relations of CRP to systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and prevalent hypertension in a representative sample of >3500 British women aged 60 to 79 years. For both ...
متن کاملThe effect of eight weeks of aerobic training and Quercetin supplementation on blood pressure, C- reactive protein, and interleukin-6 in inactive overweight women
Introduction and purpose: One of the complications of overweight and obesity is inflammation and hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of aerobic training with quercetin supplementation on hypertension, CRP, and IL-6 in inactive overweight women. Materials and Methods: Forty inactive healthy overweight women (age 33.25±6.1 years, fat percentage 36.65±2.78 and bod...
متن کاملاثر تمرین هوازی بر میزان اندوتلین1، پروتئین واکنشی C و نیتریک اکسید پلاسما در زنان یائسه با فشار خون بالا
Background : Hypertension is one of the major cardiovascular risk factors after the fifth decades of life in women but mechanisms responsible for the increase in blood pressure are complex. The present study was performed to assess the effect of aerobic exercise in endothelin-1, C-reactive protein and nitric oxide in hypertensive postmenopausal women (HPW). Methods: In a randomized controll...
متن کاملObesity Does Greater Adiposity Increase Blood Pressure and Hypertension Risk? Mendelian Randomization Using the FTO/MC4R Genotype
Elevated blood pressure increases the risk of experiencing cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction and stroke. Current observational data suggest that body mass index may have a causal role in the etiology of hypertension, but this may be influenced by confounding and reverse causation. Through the use of instrumental variable methods, we aim to estimate the strength of the unconfounde...
متن کاملCirculating Total Bilirubin and Future Risk of Hypertension in the General Population: The Prevention of Renal and Vascular End‐Stage Disease (PREVEND) Prospective Study and a Mendelian Randomization Approach
BACKGROUND Circulating total bilirubin is known to be inversely and independently associated with future risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship of circulating total bilirubin with incident hypertension is uncertain. We aimed to assess the association of total bilirubin with future hypertension risk and supplemented this with a Mendelian randomization approach to investigate a...
