This relationship has been demonstrated largely in cross-sectional studies observing the relation between the blood pressure level and the body weight measured at that time. Very little prospective data exist, particularly in general population samples concerning the relation between antecedent body weight and the subsequent development of hypertension. Whether it is adiposity per se or some other associated factor that is primarily responsible for the elevated blood pressure observed in the obese has not been established. The obesity-blood pressure relationship has been further...References1. PICKERING GW: High Blood Pressure. Churchill, London, 1955. Google Scholar2. SMIRK FH: High Arterial 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.
