Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and parameters derived from 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring including mean 24-hour daytime and nighttime systolic and diastolic blood pressures, 24-hour daytime and nighttime pulse pressure, mean 24-hour daytime and nighttime heart rate, dipping and nondipping status. 3216 outpatient subjects who visited our hypertension center and were never treated with antihypertensive medication underwent 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. BMI was significantly correlated with clinic systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Significant correlations were also found between BMI and mean 24-hour daytime and nighttime systolic blood pressure, 24-hour daytime and nighttime pulse pressure, and mean 24-hour daytime and nighttime heart rate. In multivariate regression analysis, clinic systolic, diastolic blood pressure, mean 24-hour systolic blood pressure, 24-hour pulse pressure, and high-density lipoprotein were independently correlated with BMI. The incidence of white coat hypertension was higher in overweight and obese patients than in normal weight subjects. Confirmed ambulatory blood pressure hypertension was also found to be higher in overweight and obese individuals compared with normal weight subjects. Our data also highlight the higher incidence of nondipping status in obesity. These findings suggest that obese patients had increased ambulatory blood pressure parameters and altered circadian blood pressure rhythm with increased prevalence of nondipping status.

  • Even if daytime or office blood pressures are normal, 24-h blood pressure recordings show that obese patients often have a "nondipping" pattern in which they lose the normal nocturnal decline in blood pressure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
