- Description: Purpose: Endurance exercise improves cardiovascular health and reduces mortality risk. Augmentation index (AIx) reflects adverse loading exerted on the heart and large arteries and predicts future cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to establish whether endurance athletes possess lower AIx and aortic blood pressure compared to healthy controls, and to determine the association between AIx and cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods: Forty-six endurance athletes and 43 healthy controls underwent central BP and AIx measurements by non-invasive applanation tonometry before a maximal exercise test. Peak oxygen uptake (V˙ O 2 peak) was assessed by pulmonary analysis. Results: Relative to controls, athletes had significantly lower brachial diastolic blood pressure (BP, −4.8 mmHg, p < 0.01), central systolic BP (−3.5 mmHg, p = 0.07), and AIx at a heart rate of 75 beats min−1 (AIx@75, −11.9 %, p < 0.001). No AIx@75 differences were observed between athletes and controls when adjusted for age and V˙ O 2 peak [athletes vs controls mean (%) ± SE: −6.9 ± 2.2 vs −5.7 ± 2.3, p = 0.76]. Relative to men with low V˙ O 2 peak, those with moderate and high V˙ O 2 peak had lower age-adjusted AIx@75 (p < 0.001). In women, those with high V˙ O 2 peak had lower AIx@75 than those with low and moderate V˙ O 2 peak (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The lower AIx@75 in endurance athletes is partly mediated by V˙ O 2 peak. While an inverse relationship between AIx@75 and V˙ O 2 peak was found in men, women with the highest V˙ O 2 peak possessed lowest AIx@75 compared to females with moderate or poor cardiorespiratory fitness. We recommend aerobic training aimed at achieving a minimum V˙ O 2 peak of 45 ml kg−1 min−1 to decrease the risk of future cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.

- Description: Elevated blood pressure remains the single biggest risk factor contributing to the global burden of disease and mortality. May Measurement Month is an annual global screening campaign aiming to improve awareness of blood pressure at the individual and population level. Adults (>= 18 years) recruited through opportunistic sampling were screened at sites in 92 countries during May 2019. Ideally, 3 blood pressure readings were measured for each participant, and data on lifestyle factors and comorbidities were collected. Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure >= 140 mm Hg, or a diastolic blood pressure >= 90 mm Hg (mean of the second and third readings) or taking antihypertensive medication. When necessary, multiple imputation was used to estimate participants' mean blood pressure. Mixed-effects models were used to evaluate associations between blood pressure and participant characteristics. Of 1 508 130 screenees 482 273 (32.0%) had never had a blood pressure measurement before and 513 337 (34.0%) had hypertension, of whom 58.7% were aware, and 54.7% were on antihypertensive medication. Of those on medication, 57.8% were controlled to <140/90 mm Hg, and 28.9% to <130/80 mm Hg. Of all those with hypertension, 31.7% were controlled to <140/90 mm Hg, and 350 825 (23.3%) participants had untreated or inadequately treated hypertension. Of those taking antihypertensive medication, half were taking only a single drug, and 25% reported using aspirin inappropriately. This survey is the largest ever synchronized and standardized contemporary compilation of global blood pressure data. This campaign is needed as a temporary substitute for systematic blood pressure screening in many countries worldwide.
