Summary: The study found that weight loss intervention effectively reduces blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the short term, but this effect is not maintained in the long run. Additionally, weight loss does not lead to blood pressure reduction in normotensive patients.

Summary: This study summarized the evidence regarding the predictive ability of anthropometric indicators of obesity to identify high blood pressure (HBP) in adolescents. The findings suggest that various anthropometric indicators may be used for HBP screening in adolescents, but more accurate studies are needed.

Summary: The study found that clinical practice guidelines for hypertension were generally consistent in defining, staging, and recommending target blood pressure, but showed extensive variation in treatment recommendations, especially for second-line therapy. Low-income countries tended to recommend cheaper drugs, offered less choice to clinicians in medications, and initiated dual therapy at later stages compared to high-income countries. Future research could explore underlying drivers of this variation to improve outcomes for hypertensive patients across different clinical contexts.

Summary: This study examined the impact of body mass index (BMI) and salt intake on home blood pressure reduction in unmedicated hypertensive patients undergoing lifestyle modification. Results showed that the digital therapeutics intervention was more effective in reducing morning home systolic blood pressure in patients with higher baseline BMI and salt intake. Additionally, improvements in both BMI and salt intake during the intervention were associated with the greatest reduction in home blood pressure compared to the control group.

Summary: Studies suggest that higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as stage 2 hypertension, are associated with an increased risk of incident colorectal cancer, even among individuals without shared risk factors. This indicates that monitoring blood pressure levels could help identify individuals at higher risk for developing colorectal cancer.

Summary: This study found a positive association between hypertension and DNA methylation-based biological age metrics in older individuals. Women with higher biological age were more likely to have prevalent hypertension at baseline and to be diagnosed with incident hypertension during follow-up. These findings suggest that epigenetic markers may be helpful in early diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

Summary: This study found that individuals with either high sodium sensitivity or sodium resistance are at an increased risk for developing hypertension. There is a J-shaped association between systolic blood pressure responses to sodium intake and incident hypertension. These findings are based on a longitudinal study spanning 7.4 years.

Summary: This study investigated endothelial integrity in healthy controls and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) survivors. The results suggest that perfused boundary region (PBR) may not be a suitable biomarker for endothelial integrity in ELBW survivors, despite observations of changes in blood pressure and vascularization. These findings highlight the importance of studying and understanding the complex structure of the endothelial glycocalyx in ELBW survivors.

Summary: The study found that flow parameters in the common carotid artery (CCA), such as RI and PI, were significantly associated with the prevalence and incidence of hypertension, while IMT also showed a correlation with hypertension. Over a 5.1-year follow-up period, high RI, high PI, and increased IMT were significant predictors for incident hypertension.

Summary: Globally, hypertension poses a significant threat to public health, particularly among young individuals. This study investigated the relationship between birth weight and blood pressure in children and adolescents using data from NHANES. The results showed a negative correlation between birth weight and systolic blood pressure, but not with diastolic blood pressure. Furthermore, an inverted U-shaped relationship was observed between birth weight and diastolic blood pressure in older individuals, while a J-shaped relationship was found in Mexican Americans.

Summary: Weight variability is known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality. This study investigated the relationship between weight change and the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The findings showed that both weight loss and weight gain of 10% or more were associated with a higher risk of ESRD compared to a weight change of less than 5%.

Summary: This study found that low waist circumference (WC) is associated with an increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), compared to those without DM. The group with a BMI of 25 to 30 showed the lowest ESRD risk.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between serum non-HDL-C levels and cardiovascular outcomes in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients. The study found that high serum non-HDL-C levels were associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and this association was not affected by clinical factors such as age, gender, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and albuminuria.

Summary: The study investigated the association of urinary angiotensinogen (UAGT) with renal outcomes in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD). The results showed that high UAGT level is associated with adverse renal outcomes, which is influenced by certain clinical contexts. Further studies are needed to validate the predictive role of UAGT as a biomarker for renal outcomes in CKD.

Summary: The relationship between 24-h urinary phosphorus excretion (24 h UPE) and cardiovascular disease in pre-dialysis CKD patients is not well-studied. This study found that low 24 h UPE is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in CKD patients, indicating that it should not be relied upon as a marker for dietary phosphorus restriction.

Summary: This study indicates that there is a clear association between low BMD and all-cause mortality in patients with nondialysis CKD. Osteoporosis is significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, while osteopenia does not have a significant association. This suggests that the routine measurement of BMD may have additional benefits beyond predicting fracture risk in this population.
