Introduction Blood pressure (BP) is one of the important vital signs that need to be monitored for personal healthcare. Arterial blood pressure is estimated from pulse transit time (PTT). This study uses two pulse sensors to get PTT. The aim of this study was to construct an optical system and to monitor blood pressure continuously and without cuff in people with different ages. Materials and M...

background tracking of blood pressure from early life to adulthood and the increasing prevalence of elevated blood pressure in the pediatric age group are considered as important health issues. rapid lifestyle change and dietary habits are considered as important determinants of this problem. this study aimed to systematically review the studies on the association of dietary habits and blood pr...

Relationships between initial anthropometric variables and subsequent diastolic blood pressure (fourth phase) were examined in children identified as being in the upper quintile for diastolic blood pressure at Year 1. Of 156 white children, aged 10 to 14 years, with diastolic blood pressure levels in the upper age-race-sex-specific quintile at Year 1, 38% remained in the upper quintile at Year ...

OBJECTIVE This study aims at providing local reference values for blood pressure by height and determining distribution pattern of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in 6.5-11.5 elementary school children for the first time in Shiraz (Southern Iran). METHODS Height, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured with standard methods in 2270 healthy school c...

Introduction: Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures and prevalence of hypertension vary throughout the world. These differences have mostly been explained by changes in diet and racial differences. However, it is believed that other factors such as calcium, vitamin D and PTH status may contribute to its pathogenesis. This study was conducted to assess the association between the serum 25-...

We have retrospectively compared the blood pressure load derived from 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with all clinic blood pressure readings elevated with those with only some elevated pressures to establish whether clinic readings alone are good predictors of blood pressure status. Fifty-seven patients attending a district general hospital hypertension clinic who were...
