The Prevention Of Diastolic Blood Pressure - 1156 Words

Franklin et al., (2001) examined the association of diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and pulse pressure (PP) among different age groups from 20 years to 79 years. Participants less than 50 years were at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), 50 to 59 years were at moderate risk and 60 years and older were at the highest risk of CHD. The study stated that DBP and SBP of people change as they aged. Participant’s high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was also measured and it indicated that older population has a higher risk of CHD than the younger population. It was concluded that the burden of cardiovascular disease begins to manifest before middle-aged. The use of preventive measures in early life†¦show more content†¦Participants with high level of education had better hypertension awareness treatments, low controls and participants with low levels educational had low hypertension awareness, treatment and control which have l ed to more deaths among the low educational participants. A study conducted by Winkleby et al. (1992) aimed at determining the relationship between socioeconomic status factors such as education, income and other factors that affect CVD. Socioeconomic status is one of the most predominant term used to determine how risk factors are related to multiple diseases such as CVD and others. Participant’s age 25 to 64 years living in Stanford Connecticut were used. Risk factors such as cigarette smoking, blood pressure, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured. The results of Winkleby et al., (1992) study indicated that there was a strong link between levels of education and CVD risk factors among the individuals with low level of education (p value=.05). The study also hypothesized that problem-solving lifestyle behavior will have high influence on the educated individual than the one without education. Education will help the literate individual in the attainment positive information on their health, self-esteem, and pos itive health behaviors. They concluded one could attain a better health when they have high levels of education (Winkleby et al., 1992).

Children are also being affected by hypertension. An estimated 3% of children suffer from this condition, which is a risk factor for obesity and sleep apnea. Hypertension can be reduced by taking basic preventative measures like changing one’s eating diet, exercising daily and by taking medication if other preexisting conditions exist.

The body needs a certain amount of cardiac output to maintain its basic functions. In congestive heart failure the body needs more output than the heart can put out. To make up for the lack of cardiac output, the heart sends all of its output to the essential organs such as the brain and lungs. It neglects to send as much blood to the extremities. This is why in congestive heart failure patents, edema isRead MoreTypes Of Hypertension And Secondary Hypertension1434 Words   |  6 PagesPathophysiology The amount of blood the heart pumps and the amount of resistance the arteries have to blood flow determines the blood pressure. High blood pressure results when the heart pumps more blood through narrowing arteries. There are many physiological mechanisms involved in maintaining a normal blood pressure, and the upset of any of these mechanisms may play a role in the development of hypertension (Beevers, Lip, O’Brien, 2001). Normal blood pressure for adults is a systolic readingRead MoreEssay On Study Population735 Words   |  3 PagesStudy population: This cross sectional study was performed, in 2009-2010 as the third survey of school-based surveillance system entitled Childhood and Adolescence Surveillance and Prevention of Adult Non-communicable disease Study (ASPIAN-III).
