| Popis: | Blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events, although the role of pulse pressure, an independent predictor of arterial stiffness, has recently been emphasized. This study examines the baseline relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure indexes in 215 obese African Americans enrolled in a diet—exercise program. The subject population was 77% female, with a mean ± SD age of 46.7±10.7 years and a mean BMI of 42.5±7.5 kg/m(2). In addition, the authors prospectively examined the effect of weight loss on cardiovascular parameters in a subset of 25 participants. The results show a closer significant correlation between pulse pressure and BMI (β=1.97 kgm(−1); p=0.001) than between systolic blood pressure and BMI (β=1.58 kgm(1); p=0.020). After 3 months of diet and exercise, average reductions were as follows: BMI, 4.2 kg/m(2) (p |
