The relation of carbon disulphide (CS2) exposure to risk factors for ischaemic heart disease was recently examined using data from a 1979 cross sectional study of 410 male textile workers, of whom 165 were exposed and 245 were unexposed to CS2. Average eight hour CS2 exposure concentrations ranged from 0.6 to 11.8 ppm by job title category among the exposed workers. A significant and positive linear trend in low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration (LDLc) and diastolic blood pressure with increasing CS2 exposure was found after adjustment for potential confounders. When exposure was examined as a categorical variable (none, low, moderate, and high), the high exposure group had an adjusted mean LDLc that was 0.32 mmol/l greater than the non-exposed group (p = 0.02), and an adjusted mean diastolic blood pressure that was 3.16 mm Hg greater than the non-exposed group (p = 0.09). The effect of CS2 on diastolic blood pressure was strengthened in analyses limited to exposed workers: the high exposure group had an adjusted mean diastolic blood pressure that was 5 mm Hg greater than that of the low exposed group (p = 0.03). Triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and fasting glucose concentration, and systolic blood pressure were not affected by exposure. Blood lead concentration was positively associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The results indicate that relatively modest exposure to CS2 may raise LDLc concentration and diastolic blood pressure and suggest mechanisms by which exposure to CS2 may influence risk of ischaemic heart disease. Also the results provide further support for the hypothesis of a possible association between blood lead concentration and blood pressure. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: The relation between blood lead concentration (PbB) and blood pressure was examined in a Taiwan nationwide population survey of PbB from July 1993 to June 1994. METHODS: After multistage sampling procedures, 2800 subjects (1471 males and 1329 females) with a mean (range) age of 44 (15-85) years were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric, blood pressure, and lifestyle factors were measured during household visits. The PbB was measured with a flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometer and all specimens were analysed in triplicate. RESULTS: The mean (range) PbB among all study subjects was 6.5 (0.1-69.1) micrograms/dl; among males it was 7.3 (0.1-69.1) micrograms/dl and among females 5.7 (0.1-40.1) micrograms/dl). The mean (range) systolic blood pressure among all subjects was 123 (80-210) mm Hg, among males it was 127 (80-200) mm Hg and among females 119 (80- 210) mm Hg. The diastolic blood pressure among all subjects was 78 (40- 150) mm Hg; among males it was 80 (40-130) mm Hg; and among females 75 (40-150) mm Hg. Age, body height, body weight, and body mass index (BMI) were significantly correlated with systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure in both sexes. The PbB (or the natural logarithmic transformed PbB) was not significantly correlated with blood pressure among males or females. After adjustment for the potential confounders of age, age2, BMI, milk intake, alcohol consumption, and cigarette smoking, systolic blood pressure was significantly associated with PbB among males with a regression coefficient (beta) of 0.185 (p = 0.015). No significant association between PbB and blood pressure was found among females. CONCLUSIONS: From this study, only a weak association between systolic blood pressure and PbB was found among males. There was no strong evidence that PbB was a good predictor of blood pressure. However, the possibility that long term high body lead burden could cause high blood pressure could not be ruled out on the basis of this survey.

Evidence suggests that lead and selected genes known to modify the toxicokinetics of lead--namely, those for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD)--may independently influence blood pressure and hypertension risk. We report the relations among ALAD and VDR genotypes, three lead dose measures, and blood pressure and hypertension status in 798 Korean lead workers and 135 controls without occupational exposure to lead. Lead dose was assessed by blood lead, tibia lead measured by X-ray fluorescence, and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA)-chelatable lead. Among lead workers, 9.9% (n = 79) were heterozygous for the ALAD(2) allele, and there were no ALAD(2) homozygotes; 11.2% (n = 89) had at least one copy of the VDR B allele, and 0.5% (n = 4) had the BB genotype. In linear regression models to control for covariates, VDR genotype (BB and Bb vs. bb), blood lead, tibia lead, and DMSA-chelatable lead were all positive predictors of systolic blood pressure. On average, lead workers with the VDR B allele, mainly heterozygotes, had systolic blood pressures that were 2.7-3.7 mm Hg higher than did workers with the bb genotype. VDR genotype was also associated with diastolic blood pressure; on average, lead workers with the VDR B allele had diastolic blood pressures that were 1.9-2.5 mm Hg higher than did lead workers with the VDR bb genotype (p = 0.04). VDR genotype modified the relation of age with systolic blood pressure; compared to lead workers with the VDR bb genotype, workers with the VDR B allele had larger elevations in blood pressure with increasing age. Lead workers with the VDR B allele also had a higher prevalence of hypertension compared to lead workers with the bb genotype [adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) = 2.1 (1.0, 4.4), p = 0.05]. None of the lead biomarkers was associated with diastolic blood pressure, and tibia lead was the only lead dose measure that was a significant predictor of hypertension status. In contrast to VDR, ALAD genotype was not associated with the blood pressure measures and did not modify associations of the lead dose measures with any of the blood pressure measures. To our knowledge, these are the first data to suggest that the common genetic polymorphism in the VDR is associated with blood pressure and hypertension risk. We speculate that the BsmI polymorphism may be in linkage disequilibrium with another functional variant at the VDR locus or with a nearby gene. 相似文献

Data from the Luebeck Blood Pressure Study, a cross-sectional study on a random sample (n = 3,100) of the 30- to 69-year-old population of Luebeck, were analyzed with regard to alcohol consumption and blood pressure. Putative confounders such as obesity, smoking, physical activity, and educational attainment were controlled for by multiple regression analyses. Luebeck men who consumed more than 40 g of alcohol per day revealed 5-6 mm Hg higher mean systolic and 4-5 mm Hg higher mean diastolic blood pressure values. A J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and systolic blood pressure was seen in Luebeck men. According to our calculations, about 7% of hypertension among Luebeck men is due to alcohol consumption of greater than or equal to 40 g/day. Among women, strong interactions between age and alcohol consumption were found, therefore two age groups, 30-44 and 45-69 years, were analyzed separately. In the younger age group the alcohol-blood pressure relationship was not pronounced. In the older age group a strong interaction between alcohol consumption and smoking was found. For female smokers steep increases in the adjusted mean diastolic (5.2 mm Hg) and systolic (9.6 mm Hg) blood pressure values were seen for the alcohol consumption category greater than or equal to 20 g/day. For female nonsmokers a flat curve was seen with regard to mean diastolic and systolic blood pressure values. The data from the Munich Blood Pressure Study show a very similar relationship between alcohol consumption and mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The effect of lead (Pb) and potential confounding variables on blood pressure was examined in healthy male industrial workers 20-43 years of age. METHODS: In 100 Pb workers and 51 reference subjects, the following variables were measured: blood Pb (BPb), activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), erythrocyte protoporphyrin (EP), blood cadmium (BCd), serum zinc (SZn), serum copper (SCu), hematocrit (Hct), body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure. The inter-relationship of biomarkers of Pb (BPb, ALAD, EP) and BCd, SZn, SCu, Hct, BMI, age, smoking, and alcohol to systolic and diastolic blood pressure was calculated by forward stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in blood pressure between the two groups, possibly because the reference subjects had relatively high BPb levels and significantly higher BMI (P < 0.05) as compared to the Pb workers. According to the multiple regression results in Pb workers, an increase in systolic blood pressure was significantly associated with increasing EP (P = 0.001) and BMI (P < 0.002), or alternatively with increasing BMI (P < 0.004) and decreasing ALAD (P < 0.04) and BCd (P < 0.05). An increase in diastolic blood pressure was significantly associated with increasing BMI (P < 0.009) and EP (P = 0.05) and decreasing BCd (P < 0.04). With respect to the EP range of 0.73-13.94 micromol/l erythrocytes in 100 Pb workers, an increase of 17 mm Hg in systolic and 6 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure was found. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term cumulative Pb exposure, which is better reflected by EP than by ALAD or current BPb level, can significantly increase blood pressure in moderately Pb-exposed male workers (long-term average BPb <400 microg/l; exposure duration 2-21 years). 相似文献

BACKGROUND. The repeatability of 24-hour automatic ambulatory blood pressure measurements recorded by noninvasive equipment (Del Mar Pressurometer IV) was assessed to determine the intrapatient variability of this test. METHODS. The usual antihypertensive medications of 73 patients with documented essential hypertension (supine diastolic blood pressure of 95 to 119 mm Hg) were withdrawn, and the patients were treated with placebo medication for 6 weeks. At the end of the placebo period, ambulatory blood pressure measurements of each patient were recorded every 15 minutes for 24 hours on two separate occasions 1 week apart. RESULTS. There was no significant difference in either the 24-hour systolic or diastolic blood pressure for the entire group between weeks. A mean difference for individual patients between the first and second recording within 5 mm Hg was observed in 49.3% and 52.1% of patients for 24-hour systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively. The correlation coefficient for 24-hour systolic blood pressure was greater than 24-hour diastolic blood pressure (r = .87 vs r = .67). A difference greater than 18.1/14.9 mm Hg for systolic/diastolic blood pressure would be required to assign a significant (P less than .05) change in blood pressure between two recordings in the same patient. CONCLUSIONS. These data quantify the usefulness of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements for a group of subjects. However, mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure varies significantly for individuals. Intrapatient variability may limit the usefulness of a single 24-hour ambulatory recording for an individual patient and suggests the need for more than one measurement to establish a level of blood pressure. 相似文献

We assessed the effect of shift work on the onset of hypertension. The design of this study was that of a cohort study from 1991-2001. In sum, 5338 workers comprised this cohort. The event was the onset of hypertension (systolic blood pressure >or=140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure >or=90 mm Hg and/or medication). Pooled logistic regression analysis was performed, including job schedule type, age, body mass index, lifestyle, and the results of blood chemistries as covariates. The odds ratio of the onset of hypertension in shift workers for daytime workers was 1.10 and significant. Our study revealed that shift work independently affected the onset of hypertension, and suggested that shift work is a risk factor for the onset of hypertension. 相似文献

The relationship between dietary and supplemental (1.5 g/d) calcium intake and blood pressure was examined in 81 normotensive and 34 medicated hypertensive women between the ages of 35 and 65 years who completed a 4-yr clinical trial to assess age-associated bone loss in women. Calcium intakes were monitored during the entire study. Resting blood pressures and systolic blood pressure response (SBPR) to a stress test were recorded three times during the study. At the end of the study there was no relationship between systolic or diastolic blood pressure or SBPR and total calcium intake in normotensive women (n = 81). In the medicated hypertensive group (n = 34) there was a 13 mm Hg decrease in systolic pressure of supplemented women (n = 18) and a 7 mm Hg increase in unsupplemented women (n = 16) over the 4 yr (p less than .02). 相似文献

Evidence for a dose-response relationship between occupational noise and blood pressure 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
In this study, we investigated the role of occupational noise exposure and blood pressure among workers at 2 plants. A noise-exposed plant (plant 1, > or = 89 dBA) and a less-noise-exposed plant (plant 2, < or = 83 dBA) were chosen. Exposure was based on department-wide average noise measures; on the basis of job location and adjusting for layoffs during their employment at the plant, a cumulative time-weighted average noise level was calculated for each worker. The study population comprised 329 males in plant 1 and 314 males in plant 2. Their ages ranged from 40 to 63 y (mean ages = 49.6 and 48.7, respectively), and they had worked at least 15 y at the plant. The clinical examination was administered prior to the workday and measured height, weight, pulse, and blood pressure. In addition, we noted medical and personal-habits histories, including alcohol intake and cigarette smoking patterns. We used a questionnaire to determine in-depth occupation, military history, noisy hobbies, and family history of hypertension. When individuals who took blood-pressure medication were removed from the analysis, t tests for differences in average blood pressure between plants showed a mean systolic blood pressure of 123.3 mm Hg in plant 1 versus 120.8 mm Hg in plant 2 (p = .06) and a mean diastolic blood pressure of 80.3 mm Hg versus 77.8 mm Hg in Plant 1 and 2, respectively (p = .014). On the basis of data from the combined plants, multivariate analysis revealed that age, body mass index, cumulative noise exposure, current use of blood pressure medications, and alcohol intake were significant predictors for systolic blood pressure. Cumulative noise exposure was a significant predictor of diastolic blood pressure in plant 1 but not in plant 2, possibly reflecting a threshold effect. 相似文献

The vegetarian diet has been associated with lower blood pressure (BP) in elderly white Americans. This study was undertaken to determine whether or not long-term adherence (at least 5 years) to a plant-based diet is similarly related to lower BP in older black Americans, a group exhibiting significant risk for hypertension (HT). Anthropometric characteristics, nutrient intake, and resting systolic and diastolic BP were measured in older black vegetarians (n = 27, age = 69.3 +/? 1.7 years), black nonvegetarians (n = 37, age = 65.4 +/? 1.2 years), white vegetarians (n = 85, age = 66.7 +/? 1.0 years), and white nonvegetarians (n = 54, age = 65.2 +/? 0.9 years). Older black vegetarians were significantly leaner and exhibited lower average systolic BP (131.4/76.8 mm Hg) and less hypertension than the black omnivores (141.6/76.2 mm Hg), but had significantly higher average BP than either dietary group of older white adults (vegetarians: 120.9/66.7 mm Hg; nonvegetarians: 122.8/67.6 mm Hg). These data suggest that long-term adherence to a vegetarian diet by older black Americans may afford some protection against hypertension, but in comparison to older white adults, does not completely offset their apparently greater susceptibility to untoward elevation of BP. 相似文献

Occupational noise exposure, noise-induced hearing loss, and the epidemiology of high blood pressure 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The role of noise exposure in the etiology of high blood pressure is unclear. A cross-sectional study of occupational noise exposure and high blood pressure was conducted in March 1981-August 1982 in a group of blue-collar workers from a noisy (greater than or equal to 89 dBA) and a less noisy plant (less than 81 dBA). There were 197 randomly sampled men from the noisier plant and 169 from the comparison factory. Clinical examinations, audiograms and a psychologic inventory were conducted. Body mass index, alcohol intake, and family history of hypertension were comparable for the two groups. There was no difference in mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure between workers in the two plants. There was, however, a strong relationship between severe noise-induced hearing loss (greater than or equal to 65 dBA loss at 3, 4, or 6 k Hz) and high blood pressure (greater than or equal to 90 mmHg diastolic or taking blood pressure medication) in the 56+ age group in both plants after adjusting for risk factors (p less than 0.02). Multiple regression analysis revealed that in the noisier plant, body mass index, severe noise-induced hearing loss, and noisy hobbies explained a significant amount of the variation in diastolic pressure (p less than 0.05) R2 = 0.19. This suggests that there may be a population at increased risk for hearing loss and high blood pressure. 相似文献

The prevalence, awareness and control of hypertension were assessed in a representative sample (n = 1,374) of the Laval population (aged 30-69 years). The study was designed to identify people at increased risk for cardiovascular disease because of elevated blood pressure levels rather than to establish a strict clinical prevalence. Defining hypertension as systolic pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic pressure greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg and/or on anti-hypertensive medication, the study found a prevalence of 25% (32% in men, 19% in women). Two thirds (67%) of the male hypertensives and 41% of the female hypertensives were previously unaware of their condition. One in three hypertensives were on medication, and less than half of these were under control. As observed in other studies, control was better in women. The study suggests the continuing need for high blood pressure education and detection in the Laval population, particularly among men. 相似文献
