概括
邻里地区的变化,如房主移民,可能会降低老年白人成年人的高血压. 这些因素对黑人或西班牙裔个人没有同样的保护作用,突出显示了高血压控制方面的差异.
科学领域:
- 环境健康 环境健康
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 老年学是一门学科.
背景情况:
- 当地环境对老年人血压升高的影响还未得到充分研究.
- 邻居条件,特别是与种族隔离相关的条件,可以推动高血压差异.
研究的目的:
- 评估邻居因素 (社会人口统计学,经济,住房) 与高血压之间的独立关联.
- 研究社区特征如何影响老年人的高血压.
主要方法:
- 利用了超过12,000名参与者的健康和退休研究数据 (2006-2016).
- 采用通用估计方程来分析51个人口普查通道变量与高血压之间的关联.
- 进行了种族和种族分层分析,以确定邻居因素的差异性影响.
主要成果:
- 在近期房屋所有者移民的社区 (1999年以后) 观察到血压升高的可能性较低.
- 这种关联对于非西班牙裔白人参与者来说是显著的,但对于非西班牙裔黑人或西班牙裔/拉丁裔参与者来说并非如此.
- 血压升高的相对风险为0.91 (95% CI,0.86-0.96) 为最近房主移民的最高与最低三位数.
结论:
- 最近的房屋所有者移民与老年白人成年人血压升高风险的降低有关.
- 这种邻居因素并没有对黑人或西班牙裔老年人产生类似的保护作用.
- 研究结果表明,邻里变化可能与 gentrification 有关,可能会影响血压控制在种族和种族群体之间不同.

Factors affecting Blood pressure

Several physiological and lifestyle factors influence blood pressure (BP). Understanding these factors is crucial as they are significant in patient education and blood pressure management.

Hypertension I: Introduction
16
Hypertension is a widespread, long-term medical condition where blood pressure in the arteries remains elevated. It is characterized by systolic blood pressure readings of 130 mm Hg or above or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) readings of 80 mm Hg or higher. Unmanaged hypertension poses significant health risks, making the distinction between primary (or essential) hypertension and secondary hypertension crucial, as their management and implications vary.Primary HypertensionPrimary hypertension,...

Hypertension and Regulation of Blood Pressure
2.1K
Hypertension, the most common cardiovascular disease, is diagnosed through repeated measurements of elevated blood pressure. Its risks, including damage to the kidney, heart, and brain, are directly proportional to blood pressure levels. Starting from 115/75 mm Hg, the risk of cardiovascular disease doubles with each increment of 20/10 mm Hg. The diagnosis relies on blood pressure measurements, not on patient symptoms, as hypertension is often asymptomatic until end-organ damage is imminent or...

Hypertension III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
23
Hypertension is asymptomatic and also referred to as the "silent killer" until it progresses to a severe stage or causes target organ disease. Patients may experience symptoms stemming from the strain on blood vessels and tissues in various organs or the heart's increased workload.Physical exams might show no abnormalities other than high blood pressure. Signs of vascular damage, when present, correspond to the organs supplied by the affected vessels, leading to target organ damage. For...

Hypertension II: Pathophysiology
14
Hypertension is a chronic condition in which the blood's force against artery walls is excessively high, posing risks such as heart disease. The condition's underlying mechanisms involve complex interactions among the cardiovascular, kidney, and autonomic nervous systems.Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS): This system significantly influences blood pressure regulation. When blood pressure decreases, the kidneys secrete renin. This enzyme transforms angiotensinogen, a plasma protein,...

Alterations in Blood Pressure
1.3K
Alterations in blood pressure, such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and hypotension (low blood pressure), significantly affect human health. Understanding these conditions' classifications, causes, and symptoms is essential for effective management and treatment.
Hypertension (High blood pressure)
Hypertension occurs when blood pressure readings consistently exceed the normal range. It is diagnosed when systolic blood pressure (the top number, indicating pressure while the heart...
