An analysis of the relationship of systolic blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and smoking to 14-year mortality in the Chicago Peoples Gas Company Study —I. Total mortality in exponential-Weibull model

Prevalence of hypertension in adult males was highest in PuskesmasBasuki Rahmat (16.2%) as many as 648 cases of hypertension patients which hasincreased compared to 2012 by 12% in cases of hypertension totaled 482 patients((Dinkes Kota, 2013). This study aims to determine the relationship of body massindex (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with systolic blood pressure (BP) in adultmales in Puskesmas Basuki Rahmat Bengkulu City in 2015. The study design wasdescriptive analytic with cross sectional approach. Study location was in PuskesmasBasuki Rahmat City of Bengkulu. Samples were selected using purposive samplingtotalling 68 people. Criterias sample were being adult males who occupied inPuskesmas Basuki Rahmat City of Bengkulu, aged ≥ 18 years, agreed to beinterviewed,and able to communicate actively. Data were obtained include BMI, WCand systolic BP adult males and processed using computer software with pearsoncorrelation analysis.The results showed that there was relationship between BMI andsystolic BP (p = 0.0005; r = 0.395); between WC and systolic BP (p = 0.004 and r =0.347) in adult males. This study concluded that there was relationship between BMIand WC with systolic BP in adult males in Puskesmas Basuki Rahmat Bengkulu Cityin 2015.

AbstractThe study aimed to evaluate the relationship of paraoxonase 2 (Two hundred and sixty-four individuals were included in the study. The laboratory parameters were assessed by routine kit methods, while methods based on polymerase chain reaction were used for311 SS homozygous individuals had significantly lower systolic blood pressure values (SBP, p<0.01), C-reactive protein, and apolipoprotein A1 levels (p<0.05), as compared with C allele carriers. The analysis revealed no differences in the levels of endothelial/hemostatic markers, except for the increased adhesion molecule [soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1)] concentrations in 311S/E2 carriers (p<0.05).The presence of the

The Relationship

1. The relationship between baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and arterial compliance index (ACI) has been investigated (a) in paired subjects matched in one instance for systolic blood pressure with differing ages, and (b) in another instance matched for age with differing systolic blood pressures. 2. There was a significant negative correlation between BRS and age and between ACI and age in the twelve systolic blood pressure-matched subjects. 3. A significant negative correlation of systolic blood pressure with both BRS and ACI was observed in the fourteen age-matched subjects. 4. Both BRS and ACI appear to decrease with increasing age and systolic blood pressure. This decrease in BRS is probably due at least in part to the observed reduction in arterial distensibility.
