Background: Hypertension is a disease that is a public health problem found in both developed and developing countries. It takes obedience and discipline and money to be able to control high blood pressure. Acupuncture can be applied to help control blood pressure by stimulating acupuncture points to deliver and smooth the Qi in an effort to balance Yin Yang which medically can improve the physiology of blood pressure. More than 20% of the Bibis Luhur RW XXI Nusukan Banjarsari Surakarta community complained of frequent dizziness and experiencing high blood pressure. Methods: Examination of blood pressure checks, counseling on healthy lifestyles and prevention of hypertension, as well as acupuncture therapy services located at Griya Sehat Prima Hati. The activity was carried out 12 times with a frequency of once a week with local health cadres. Blood pressure was checked at each visit and blood pressure comparisons were made from the first and last therapy. Results: There was an average decrease of 19 mmHg for systolic pressure and 10 mmHg for diastolic pressure. Patients, families and health cadres experienced an increase in knowledge about hypertension management and a healthy lifestyle by 80%. Acupuncture reduces comorbidities for people with hypertension such as dizziness, insomnia, stiff neck, and other complaints. Conclusion: With counseling, health care, and acupuncture therapy to help people understand and improve their daily life patterns, reduce complaints, and lower blood pressure.

Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure where the systolic pressure is more than 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure is more than 90 mmHg. The cause of the onset of hypertension can be of age factor. Elderly who suffer from hypertension usually cause interruption of daily activities, so routine treatment is needed in order not to cause complications. Young coconut water contains potassium, magnesium and vitamin C which has benefits to help the body regulate blood pressure, so it can reduce hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of young coconut water on the decrease of high blood pressure in the elderly. Experimental Quasy research design with Non-Equivalent Control Group Desaign approach. The population of this study is elderly who are not dependence of hypertension drugs as much as 32 people with the number of samples of 30 respondents selected by Probability Sampling with Simple Random Sampling approach. The independent variable is young coconut water therapy, the dependent variable is the decrease of high blood pressure. Data were collected using questionnaires and observations. Data were analyzed by using Paired t-test and Independent t-test. The results showed that the consumption of young coconut water as much as 250 ml morning and afternoon for 2 weeks in the treatment group can lower systolic blood pressure. The independent t test in the treatment group and the control group obtained the result p = 0.013 (p <a = 0.05). The implication of this study is that young coconut water can lower blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, so that young coconut water treatment can be used as one of the non-pharmacological alternative to reduce blood pressure.

Disparities between the races have been well documented in health and disease in the USA. Recent studies show that telomere length, a marker of aging, is associated with obesity and obesity-related diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. The current study aimed to evaluate the connection between telomere length ratio, blood pressure, and childhood obesity. The telomere length ratio was measured in 127 children from both European American (EA) and African American (AA) children, aged 6–10 years old. AA children had a significantly high relative telomere to the single copy gene (T/S) ratio compared to EA children. There was no significant difference in the T/S ratio between normal weight (NW) and overweight/obese (OW/OB) groups of either race. Blood pressure was significantly elevated in AA children with respect to EA children. Hierarchical regression analysis adjusted for race, gender, and age expressed a significant relationship between the T/S ratio and diastolic pressure. Low T/S ratio participants showed a significant increase in systolic pressure, while a high T/S ratio group showed an increase in diastolic pressure and heart rate of AA children. In conclusion, our findings show that AA children have high T/S ratio compared to EA children. The high T/S ratio is negatively associated with diastolic pressure.

Previous studies of childhood blood pressure have shown tracking correlations, which estimate the magnitude of association between initial and subsequent measurements, to be lower than corresponding adult values. Inasmuch as this disparity could arise from failing to account for a larger week-to-week variability in children, blood pressure was measured for 4 successive years, on four weekly visits in each year, and with three measurements at each visit, using a random-zero sphygmomanometer, in a cohort of 333 schoolchildren aged 8 through 15 at entry. Ninety percent of subjects had measurements in 1 or more years of follow-up. For all follow-up periods (1, 2, and 3 years from baseline), the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure rose substantially with the number of weekly visits used to calculate each subject's yearly blood pressure (P &lt; .0001). For systolic pressure, the 3-year r values for 1, 2, 3, and 4 visits were .45, .55, .64, and .69, respectively. For diastolic pressure (Korotkoff phase 4), the corresponding values were .28, .41, .47, and .54. These higher multiple-visit estimates of tracking approximate published adult values and raise the possibility that prediction of adult blood pressure from childhood measurements may be improved by averaging readings from multiple weekly visits.

Family History Of Hypertension

Background: Hypertension is considered as a major health issue in developed as well as developing countries and its possible origin during childhood prompts pediatricians to routinely include measurement of blood pressure (BP) as an integral part of pediatric physical examination. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the normal range of blood pressure in adolescent school going students of 12-16 years, prevalence of hypertension and relationship of BP with variables like age, body mass index (BMI), socioeconomic status and family history of hypertension.Methods: A cross sectional study was undertaken for a period of one year in adolescent school children in age groups between 12-16 years. Detailed clinical examination was done in 1060 adolescent school children and BP was recorded in right upper limb and correlation of BP with BMI, family history of hypertension and diabetes were studied.Results: Mean systolic and diastolic pressure showed linear relationship with age. There was a highly statistically significant difference between mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure between lower and middle socio-economic class. Prevalence of obesity in our study was 1.13%, overweight was 7.83%. Prevalence of hypertension in obese children was 33.33% and in overweight children 18.07%. Family history of hypertension and diabetes carry a significant correlation with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adolescents.Conclusions: This study revealed that socio economic factors play a significant role in determining the blood pressure of the individual. Children of middle class have significantly elevated mean systolic pressure and mean diastolic pressure than low socio-economic groups.

Purpose This paper aims to verify the effect of 12 weeks of grape juice (GJ) consumption associated with aerobic exercise on the variation of the hypertensive elderly pressure. Design/methodology/approach A total of 45 hypertensive elderly of both sexes were distributed into: control group (CG, n = 10), exercise group (EG, n = 10), juice group (JG, n = 12) and juice and exercise group (JEG, n = 13). Blood pressure and heart rate were checked weekly before exercise in JG and JEG, and before and after intervention in all groups, with JG and JEG supplemented with 200 mL of GJ. Three weekly sessions of moderate walking were applied. Findings There was a reduction in EG, JG and JEG for systolic pressure and diastolic only for JG and JEG. The GJ consumption to the practice of aerobic exercise provided reductions in the arterial pressure of hypertensive, in addition to stabilization of the diastolic pressure. Research limitations/implications Although the objective of the study was to compare the effect and value of intervention with controls, the study had no intervention in food consumption, which could have led to more significant results. There was a limitation in the control drink, leading the study not to be blind, which may have impaired the results. However, it is probably not a bias, as the groups were divided by residence area, and therefore, had no direct contact with the other groups. Another limitation was that the sample size was still small, which would lead to more reliable results. Finally, although the existing limitations cannot be disregarded, the results of this research are very promising, especially when the objective is the effect of GJ and aerobic exercise on blood pressure, with the possibility of implementing supplemental GJ and the inclusion or not of exercise to the hypertensive elderly. Originality/value The paper deals with the benefits of GJ consumption associated with aerobic physical exercise on the blood pressure of elderly hypertensive patients. Considering that GJ along with physical exercise was enough to reduce the blood pressure of hypertensive elderly, this may be a new model to be used to reduce and/or control blood pressure, and GJ and the exercise to be part of the daily life of the population.

Arterial pressure of each new breeding spontaneous Phase-1 hypertension (P1-HT) rat was recorded for 5 min by intravascular femoral artery catheter that served as a reference value prior to treatment. In the acute antihypertensive test, 0.36 g/kg Bwt of Plantago asiatica seed extract (PSE) was administered, via gavage feeding, to P1-HT rats, and the arterial pressures were continuously recorded for 1 h. The acute antihypertensive effects of PSE on P1-HT rats appeared within 15 min after PSE administration and lasted over 1 h with systolic pressure decreased 31.5 mmHg and diastolic pressure decreased 18.5 mmHg. The systolic pressure decreased 28 mmHg and diastolic pressure decreased 16 mmHg in P1-HT rats when simultaneously compared with verapamil hydrochloride (reference drug), whereas there were no significant differences in the pretreated reference values of acute PSE treatment and the untreated control. In the chronic test, P1-HT rats received 0.36 g/kg Bwt day of PSE or equal volume of water for 4 weeks via oral gavage, and the lower blood pressure tendencies of chronic PSE treatment were also found when compared with the controls. The antihypertensive values of PSE were also confirmed in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Oral administration with PSE can effectively moderate blood pressure within an hour, while taking PSE daily can control the severity of hypertension, suggesting PSE is a potentially antihypertensive herb.

Vasodilating Activity

The cardiovascular roles of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were examined in anesthetized rats by monitoring blood pressure and in isolated blood vessels and heart preparations. Intravenous injection of PDGF-BB lowered blood pressure. The decrease in systolic pressure was greater than that in diastolic pressure, so the pulse pressure decreased. PDGF-AA and -AB, other isoforms of PDGF, did not have any effect on blood pressure. Pretreatment of rats with Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, shortened duration of the hypotensive effect of PDGF-BB. The administration ofl-arginine withl-NAME partially prevented the effect of l-NAME. PDGF-BB relaxed aortic rings precontracted with phenylephrine with a 50% effective concentration of 3 ng/ml. In contrast, in isolated mesenteric vascular preparations, the vasodilating activity of PDGF-BB was observed only at a high concentration (>12.5 ng/ml). In isolated heart preparations, PDGF-BB had no effect on the beat rate or contractile activity. These results suggest a new role of PDGF-BB that may contribute to the regulation in circulation through the increase in macrovascular compliance mediated by NO.

Weekly Alcohol Consumption

1. The association between alcohol consumption and blood pressure was studied in 491 Government employees. The men, aged 21–45 years, volunteered to complete a health questionnaire and submitted to standardized measurements of blood pressure, heart rate and body size. 2. Average weekly alcohol consumption correlated with systolic pressure (r = 0.18, P &lt; 0.001) but not with diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure increased progressively with increasing alcohol consumption with no obvious threshold effect. The effect of alcohol was independent of age, obesity (Quetelet's index) or cigarette smoking. 3. Results indicate that alcohol ranks close to obesity as a preventable cause of essential hypertension in the community.
