Background Individuals of the same chronological age may exhibit diverse susceptibilities to death. However, few studies have investigated the associations between blood pressure and the accelerated aging. Methods and Results A cross‐sectional study was conducted in 288 adults aged ≥50 years. We assessed the DNA methylation‐based measures of biological age using CpG sites on the Illumina HumanMethylationEPIC BeadChip. Epigenetic age acceleration metrics were derived by regressing residuals (ΔAge) and ratios (aging rate) of DNA methylation age on chronological age. Dose‐response relationships between blood pressure and epigenetic age acceleration were quantified using multiple linear regression and restricted cubic regression models. We found that each 10–mm Hg increase in systolic blood pressure was associated with 0.608 (95% CI, 0.231–0.984) years increase in ΔAge and 0.007 (95% CI, 0.002–0.012) increase in aging rate; meanwhile, for pulse pressure, the increase was 1.12 (95% CI, 0.625–1.61) years for ΔAge and 0.013 (95% CI, 0.007–0.020) for aging rate. Subgroup analysis showed that the significant associations of systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure with epigenetic age acceleration appeared to be limited to women, although interactions between blood pressure and sex were not significant ( P values for interaction >0.05). The combination of women and hypertension was associated with a much higher increase in ΔAge (β [95% CI], 4.05 [1.07–7.02]) and aging rate (β [95% CI], 0.047 [0.008–0.087]), compared with male participants without hypertension. Conclusions Our findings suggested that high systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure were associated with the epigenetic age acceleration, providing important clues for relationships between blood pressure and epigenetic aging.

Introduction: There has been increasing evidence that higher systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) is related to unfavorable outcomes in patients with stroke. We explored the relation between SBPV and clinical outcomes after reperfusion therapy; intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular therapy (EVT). Methods: We retrieved data of consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated with reperfusion therapy from our prospective stroke registry between October 2005 and December 2018. We calculated the following five SBPV during 24 hours after IVT or EVT; mean, standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), successive variation (SV), and average real variability (ARV). Clinical outcomes included unfavorable outcomes as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 3-6 at 3 months and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) as any hemorrhage with neurological deterioration of 4 points of more on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Successful reperfusion was indicated with early neurological improvements of 4 points of more on the NIHSS after IVT alone or Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scores of 2b or 3 after EVT alone or EVT combined with IVT. Results: Among 933 patients with premorbid mRS scores of 0-1 (72±12 years; 316 women), 426 patients with unfavorable outcomes and 35 patients with sICH were observed. In adjusted analyses, all measures of SBPV but CV were related to unfavorable outcomes, while all measures of SBPV but mean SBP were related to sICH. In 566 patients with successful reperfusion, 228 patients with unfavorable outcomes and 10 patients with sICH were observed. In adjusted analyses, all measures of SBPV but mean SBP were positively related to unfavorable outcomes, while no measures of SBPV were independently related to sICH (table). Conclusion: High SBPV after successful reperfusion therapy contributed to unfavorable outcomes, suggesting high SBPV after reperfusion therapy might need more attention.

It has been previously documented that carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a predictor of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to identify clinical parameters associated with an increased cIMT treated hypertensive women. Female patients (n=116) with essential hypertension, aged 40–65 years, were included in this study. Vascular ultrasound was performed and the patients were divided into two groups according to the values of cIMT (< or ≥0.9 mm). Patients with greater cIMT presented significantly higher systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. Serum HDL-cholesterol was significantly lower and CRP was significantly higher in the same group. There was a significant correlation between cIMT and age (r=0.25,P=0.007), systolic blood pressure (r=0.19,P=0.009), pulse pressure (r=0.30,P=0.001), and LDL-cholesterol (r=0.19,P=0.043). cIMT was correlated to CRP (r=0.31,P=0.007) and negatively correlated to HDL-cholesterol (r=0.33,P=0.001). In logistic regression, only HDL-cholesterol, CRP, and pulse pressure were shown to be independent variables associated to increased cIMT. In conclusion, pulse pressure, HDL-cholesterol, and CRP are variables correlated with cIMT in treated hypertensive women.
