New research in the Journal of the American Heart Association from Columbia and partnering universities found an uncanny connection between couples and high blood pressure.
“Many people know that high blood pressure is common in middle-aged and older adults, yet we were surprised to find that among many older couples, both husband and wife had high blood pressure in the U.S., England, China and India,” said senior study author Chihua Li. “For instance, in the U.S., among more than 35% of couples who were ages 50 or older, both had high blood pressure.”
In total, about 38% of U.S. spouses share high blood pressure; an estimated 47% in England do as well. Chinese married couples saw a 21% connection and Indian ones saw 20%.

“...your partner”?
What kind of woke faggot crapola is this?
I don’t have a “partner”. I have a wife.
Screw this intelligentsia babble AND the pseudo-scientific horse it rode in on!
“And even when I was pregnant and weighed more than I do not, it [BP] wouldn’t budge. No idea why”.
I take my portable BP device to the doctor’s and compare the two readings.
Yours may be stuck!

Food, activities, communication, friends, economic responsibilities to the other.
When you are dehydrated, your blood volume is low, and the blood pressure is therefore low (lots of deflated space), but your pulse is likely much higher for the heart to get enough oxygen and nutrients around. You may also experience faintness or even blackout.
Those were the blood pressures taken at the doctor’s offices, in the days of manual.
I did take my BP cuff to compare it to the dr. That’s when we realized for sure that those are almost useless.
Mr.GG2 has high blood pressure. He eats what I cook which is a well rounded diet. I run 124/65 or there about. Hes fighting genetics as his twin sister has high BP and so did Dad. Neither one of them are fat.
Agree some don’t get the duh moment.
study author Chihua Li?
Ahh Sooo
Not Soo
Bump
Weight is not always a factor. My brother in law is quite thin, but he has to watch his diet and blood pressure closely
Yes genetics can play a big part. Mr. GGs sister is very thin but it just runs in their family. As does diabetes.
+1 :-)
