Hypertension and arterial stiffness: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study. ARIC Investigators.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The association of adiposity during childhood with future risk of elevated blood pressure (BP) in South Asian children is not known. We aimed to investigate the relationship between waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) with BP over a 2-year period, independent of the baseline BP. METHODS:We an...
