Introduction The association between obesity and arterial hypertension has been established in a great number of studies. Our objective was to investigate whether circadian rhythm of blood pressure is disturbed among obese people. Material and methods In this cross-sectional, randomized study, Schiller BR-102 device was used for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. One hundred and twenty outpatients were divided into three randomized groups: obese body mass index 30 kg/m2 (52 patients), overweight (28 patients), with body mass index 25,0-29,9 kg/m2 and normal weight (control group) (48 patients), with body mass index 18,5-24,9 kg/m2. In all patients we investigated the following blood pressure parameters: average blood pressure (total, day-time and night-time), maximal blood pressure and dipping or non-dipping blood pressure pattern during night (for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively). Results In body mass index beyond 30 kg/m2 only systolic blood pressure parameters were significantly higher - average blood pressure - during daytime (P=0.034) and during night (P=0.014); maximal blood pressure (P=0.001). In body mass index beyond 30 kg/m2, absence of normal blood pressure during night was significantly more often registered (P=0.007). Discussion and Conclusion The non-dipping blood pressure pattern and increase of systolic blood pressure only reveal hyper activation of sympathetic nervous system as a leading pathophysiological mechanism causing arterial hypertension in obese patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the socioeconomic, demographic and obstetric profile of pregnant women with Gestational Hypertensive Syndrome. Methods: A descriptive and correlational study, conducted in Maternity School Assis Chateaubriand, with 120 pregnant women, through a questionnaire analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: most women had chronic hypertension (60.83%). Regarding the socioeconomic and demographic profile, most pregnant women had a mean age of 30.9 ± 6.9 years, were Catholic, brown skin color, employed, in stable unions, complete high school education, and income of up to R$ 954.00. Regarding the obstetric profile, their Body Mass Index was up to 66, slightly elevated blood pressure, an average of five prenatal consultations, two pregnancies, one delivery and no abortions. Women with chronic hypertension were older (p = 0.0024), had lower gestational age (p = 0.0219) and a higher number of abortions (p = 0.0140). Conclusions: Pregnant women are overweight/obese, with a mean age of 30.9 years and are socially vulnerable. Pregnant women with chronic hypertension are older and have a higher number of abortions.

Abstract Introduction Snoring is one of the symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing. Sleep-disordered breathing is associated with blood pressure in pregnant women. However, studies reporting this association have been conducted overseas, and there is a lack of research in the Japanese context, where women have different lifestyles and physical attributes. The aim of this study is to clarify the association of sleep disturbance with physical factors in pregnant Japanese women. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 80 pregnant Japanese women. The assessments for statistical analysis included the Japanese versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (J-PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (JESS), as well as snoring frequency, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI) before and during pregnancy. Results Participants’ average gestational age was 26.23±7.56 weeks, and the J-PSQI and JESS scores were 5.5±2.6 and 9.7±4.2, respectively. The average neck circumference was 33.4±2.6cm, and BMI before and during pregnancy was 21.0±2.9cm and 23.1±3.1cm, respectively. Among the participants, 42.5% displayed habitual snoring. These women had significantly higher BMI and weight before and during pregnancy than those who did not snore habitually. Participants with lower diastolic blood pressure and pre-pregnancy weight had significantly higher JESS scores. Participants with thick necks (neck circumference≥33.4cm) had significantly higher BMI and weight before and during pregnancy, as well as lower J-PSQI scores, than those with thin necks. Conclusion In pregnant Japanese women, neck circumference and BMI before and during pregnancy were lower than among pregnant women from other countries. However, Japanese women displayed a greater tendency toward snoring during pregnancy compared to women from other countries. Snoring was associated with obesity before and during pregnancy. However, the results suggest that thinness of physique prior to pregnancy is a risk factor for sleep disturbance during pregnancy. Support

The Impact

Preeclampsia is a disease that can arise during pregnancy, labor, childbirth, has clinical symptoms such as high blood pressure (hypertension), and found protein in urine (proteinuria, data in Polindes Pragaan Daya Village, District Pragaan-Sumenep Year 2016 from 36 pregnant women there is 6 people (16.6%) detected preeclampsia. The cause of preeeklamsi is still not known with certainty but there are closely related risk factors such as obesity, women who have a body mass index of 25-27 usually have a risk of three times hypertension including preeclampsia (2). The purpose of this study is to know the description of body mass index (BMI) in pregnant women who have preeclampsia. The descriptive research used cross sectional approach, the population used by pregnant women detected by preeclampsion in Polindes of Pragaan Daya village of Sumenep district in March to May 21 were 21 respondents using population total sampling technique, the data obtained were analyzed using frequency distribution table. Based on the results of research obtained data Nearly half of respondents have a body mass index (BMI) fat (> 25-30) that is as many as 8 respondents (38.1%). The body works harder in pumping blood, the body needs to burn excess calories, burning calories requires an adequate supply of oxygen in the blood, more calories being burned, the more oxygen supply in the blood, the higher blood supply makes the heart work harder, and the impact of blood pressure on obese people is higher (Widharto, 2007). Early detection of pregnant women through blood pressure examination, IMT measurements, and signs of preeclampsia symptoms, making midwives' basis for rapid and appropriate decisionmaking, cross-program, cross-sectoral, family and community support are expected to decrease the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women .Keynote: Body Mass Index (IMT), Preeclampsia
