Pressure Measurement[/center]
SNIPPET:
These investigators did an observational cohort study over a
10-year period called the Spanish Ambulatory Blood Pressure
Registry. Almost 60,000 patients now had clinic blood pressure
measurements and ambulatory measurements.
What they discovered was about 12% of the patients died and
about a third of those from cardiovascular disease. The
ambulatory blood pressure measurement was much better at
predicting who would die. In fact, when they compared it to the
clinic, it was about 5 times better at informing who was more
likely to die. When they looked at daytime ambulatory versus
nighttime, the nighttime was about 6 times more effective in
informing who might [glow=red,2,300]die[/glow] over that 10-year
period.
What about white coat hypertension? It wasn't associated with an
increased risk of mortality at all.

[center]New [glow=teal,2,300]Study[/glow] Reveals Types of
Exercise That Work Best[/center]
SNIPPETS:
If your goal is to optimize your cardiovascular health and
longevity, more is better for moderate-intensity exercise, but
not for vigorous exercise. For high-intensity exercise, optimal
benefits plateau at approximately 150 minutes/week. ... ...

[glow=teal,2,300]Fitness[/glow] and
[glow=green,2,300]Longevity[/glow][/center]
“Training Strategies” also reviews other aspects of fitness that
can give you an idea of your fitness and premature death risk.
For example:
👉 One-legged balance test — People who cannot stand on
one leg for 10 seconds without losing their balance or having to
put the raised foot on the floor have an 84% higher all-cause
mortality risk than those who can successfully complete this
test.
👉 Autonomous functioning (the sitting-rising test) —
This test evaluates the nonaerobic components of physical
fitness, such as flexibility, balance, muscle strength and body
composition, all of which are important for optimal function and
survival.
The test involves lowering yourself onto the floor and then
rising back up. Start with a score of 10. As you lower yourself
to the floor, subtract one point for each support used, such as
a hand, forearm, knee or side of leg. As you rise back up, again
subtract one point for each support used. The lower your final
score, the higher your all-cause mortality risk.
