Association of Birth Weight and Current Body Size to Blood Pressure in Female Twins

AbstractIt has been proposed that low birth weight is associated with high levels of blood pressure in later life. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of blood pressure to birth weight and current body size during growth and adulthood. A total of 711 female multiple births, with one group of 244 in their growth phase mean age 12.0 (2.3)(SD) years and the other of 467 adults (mean age 35.2 (12.6) years), had height, weight and both systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures measured, and self-reported their birth weight. Regression analyses were performed to assess the cross-sectional and within-pair associations of blood pressure to birth weight, with and without adjustments for current body size. Within-pair analysis was based on 296 twin pairs. Cross-sectionally, a reduction in birth weight of 1 kg was associated with 2 to 3 mm Hg higher age-adjusted SBP, which was of marginal significance and explained about 2% of the population variance. Adjustment for body mass index did not significantly change this association. Within-pair analyses found no association between birth weight and SBP or DBP, even after adjusting for current body size. After age, current body size was the strongest predictor of systolic BP. The weak association of blood pressure to birth weight cross-sectionally is of interest, but any within-pair effect of birth weight on blood pressure must be minimal compared with the effect of current body size.

Background Disruption of nephrogenesis in low birth weight(LBW) infant leads to decreases in nephron number andrenal volume, resulting in renal hyperfunction and eventually,hypertension.Objective To assess for a possible correlation of renal volume torenal function and blood pressures in low birth weight childrenaged 7 -8 years.Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study on childrenaged 7-8 years in Manado, who were born LBW or n ormalbirth weight (NBW). Renal function was assessed by measuringblood cyctatin-C level while renal volume was determined usingultrasound measurements of renal length x width x thickness(cm3). Ttest was used to compare renal volume and cystatin-Clevels in LBW children to NBW children. Pearson's correlationtest was used to assess the relationship of renal volume to renalfunction and blood pressure in low birth weight children.Results Subjects were 48 LBW and 48 NBW children. Meanrenal volumes were 7 8.28 (SD 7 .96) cm3 in the LBW group and103.68 (SD 12.52) cm3 in the NBW group (P< 0.01). The meancystatin-C levels, as a measure of renal function, were 0.81 (SD0.07) mg/Lin the LBW group and in 0.73 (SD 0.06) mg/Linthe NBW group (P< 0.01). There was no correlation betweenrenal volume and cystatin-C level (r=-0.169; P>0,05) as wellas between renal volume and systolic (r=-0.07, P>0.05) anddias tolic blood pressure (r=-0.123, P>0.05).Conclusion Mean renal volume is lower in the LBW groupthan in the NBW group, but is not correlated to decreased renalfunction or blood pressures.

The Relationship

There is substantial evidence of an inverse association between birth weight and later blood pressure (BP) in populations from high-income countries, but whether this applies in low-income countries, where causes of low birth weight are different, is not certain. Objective: We conducted a review of the evidence on the relationship between birth weight and BP among African children and adolescents. Medline, EMBASE, Global Health and Web of Science databases were searched for publications to October 2016. Papers reporting the relationship between birth weight and BP among African children and adolescents were assessed. Bibliographies were searched for further relevant publications. Selected papers were summarized following the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. In total, 16 papers from 13 studies conducted in nine African countries (Nigeria, Republic of Seychelles, Gambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, South Africa, Algeria, Zimbabwe and Angola) were reviewed. Eight studies were cohorts, while five were cross-sectional. The relationship between birth weight and later BP varied with age of the participants. Studies in neonates showed a consistently positive association, while predominantly inverse associations were seen among children, and studies in adolescents were inconsistent. Based on the limited number of studies identified, the relationship between birth weight and later BP may vary with age in African children and adolescents. Not all studies adequately controlled for confounding, notably gender or age. Whether the inverse relationship between birth weight and BP in later life observed in Western settings is also seen in Africa remains unclear.

AbstractObjectiveDietary Ca is now being recognized to play an important role not only in skeletal integrity, but also in the regulation of energy and metabolism. The aim of the present study was to estimate the relationship of dairy Ca intake with BMI and blood pressure (BP) in a sample derived from the Polish population.DesignCa intake was calculated from an interviewer-administered semi-quantitative FFQ. BMI was calculated from measured weight and height, and BP was measured by a physician.SettingCross-sectional epidemiological study on osteoporosis risk factors in Poland.SubjectsRandomly selected healthy adult persons (n 1259; 750 women and 509 men).ResultsDairy Ca intake was significantly lower in individuals with overweight/obesity (BMI≥25·00 kg/m2) and/or with elevated BP (systolic/diastolic ≥140/≥90 mmHg) than in those with normal body mass and BP, respectively. Ca intake was negatively correlated with BMI (r=−0·12, P<0·001), systolic BP (r=−0·11, P<0·001) and diastolic BP (r=−0·08, P<0·01). Daily dairy Ca intake below 1000 mg was a predictor for BMI≥25·0 kg/m2 (OR=1·44, P<0·005). This relationship was stronger in women, particularly premenopausal women.ConclusionsThe obtained results indicate the role of low dairy Ca intake in the development of obesity and hypertension, notably in premenopausal women.

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.

Jaundice is a yellow stain on the skin, sclera, or mucous membranes as a result of excessive accumulation of bilirubin in the tissues. Low birth weight babies (LBW) are defined as birth weight 2,500 grams or less. In infants with low birth weight can experience various complications, one of which is hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice). This study aims to determine the relationship of Low Birth Weight Babies (LBW) with the incidence of jaundice in Bhayangkara Hospital in the city of Kediri. The research design used is correlational analytic research. The method used is a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique was carried out in total sampling as many as 105 samples of infants with LBW. Research data is taken from medical records. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using Spearman's Rho test. The results of the study showed that out of 105 infants with low birth weight who experienced physiological jaundice as many as 75 infants (71.4%) and pathological jaundice as many as 30 infants (28.6%). The results of the Spearman Rh Rho test analysis showed that the p value = 0.067 or less than α = 0.05 (0.067 0.05), which means that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning that there is a relationship between the incidence of LBW and neonatal jaundice in Bhayangkara Hospital in the City Kediri in 2018. The strength of the relationship is based on the correlation coefficient of 0.196 which means that there is a moderate relationship between the incidence of LBW and jaundice in Bhayangkara Hospital in Kota Kadiri in 2018.

Hypertension is a health problem that many elderly suffer from. Blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension can be controlled in various ways, namely doing physical activity regularly, performing activities related to cognitive function, and controlling stress levels so as not to affect contractions or pulsations of the heart and nervous system that can cause blood pressure to increase. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of partner support with physical, mental, and social activities of the elderly with hypertension.This study used a correlational non-experimental design with a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples were 102 respondents in the Morokrembangan area, where the sampling used Nonprobability Sampling method, namely Purposive Sampling. The research instrument used partner support questionnaires, Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), mental health practices, social activities and demographic characteristics. The analysis used Spearman Rho test.The results of this study were there was a relationship between partner support with physical activity (p = 0.000; r = 0.589 ), mental activity (p = 0.000; r = 0.778 ), and social activity (p = 0.000; r = 0.671) with positive and unidirectional correlation.As you get older, daily activities will decrease too. The better the support provided by the partner, the higher the level of daily activities carried out by the elderly. Therefore, elderly couples are expected to provide mutual support in carrying out physical, mental, and social activities.
