Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Story Tools CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) Bone loss at menopause can cause elevated blood-lead levels that may increase women's risk of high blood pressure, a study found. Previous studies have linked lead exposure in men with high blood pressure. But the new research is the first to suggest that thinning bones can release lead acquired from decades-earlier exposure and cause health problems, said co-author Ellen Silbergeld, an environmental health researcher at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health. Lead exposure from paint, water, air pollution and other environmental sources elevates blood-lead levels and in large doses can cause poisoning, especially in children. The metallic chemical ultimately accumulates in bones, and in low-level exposure may remain there for decades without serious effects. But when aging bones start to thin, lead can leak back into the blood, where it is more likely to cause damage, the researchers said.

Extractions: NAPLES, ITALY. Several studies have shown that replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat in the diet can help lower blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Research has shown that some unsaturated fats (oils) are more effective in lowering blood pressure than others. Fish oils containing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), for example, have been found quite effective in lowering both blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Now researchers at the University of Naples report that olive oil is also highly effective in lowering blood pressure. Their one-year study involved 23 men and women with mild hypertension (systolic pressure less than 165 mm Hg and diastolic pressure less than 104 mm Hg at the start of the study). The participants were randomized into two groups. One group was told to add olive oil to their food after cooking while the other group was told to add sunflower oil (a rich source of linoleic acid). Men added 40 grams/day (approx. four spoonfuls) and women added 30 grams/day (approx. three spoonfuls) to arrive at a diet containing 8368 kJ and 6276 kJ respectively. The overall composition of the diet was 17 per cent protein, 57 per cent carbohydrates, and 26 per cent fat. The participants' blood pressures were measured every two months. After six months the average systolic blood pressure in the olive oil group had dropped to 127 mm Hg from the 134 mm Hg recorded at the start and the diastolic pressure had dropped from 90 mm Hg to 84 mm Hg. There were no significant changes in the sunflower oil group.

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) Black adolescents who drink four cans of caffeinated sodas a day could be raising their risk of high blood pressure, according to a study published Monday. "This paper indicates that the concern about soda consumption in children and teens should not be limited to the fact that soft drinks add more calories to the diet," Margaret Savoca, nutritionist and postdoctoral fellow at the Medical College of Georgia and lead author on the study, said in a news release. "Caffeine consumption may also impact their blood pressure," she said. According to the report, the frequency of hypertension among youth is rising, and black adolescents have higher systolic blood pressures the top blood pressure number than white adolescents. Hypertension can lead to stroke, heart failure and kidney damage. "Caffeine is considered a preventable risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease," the study authors wrote, adding that it is estimated that 68 percent of boys and 62 percent of girls aged 12 to 17 drink at least one soft drink a day, with a lower number drinking coffee or tea

I am now on a beta-blocker, for life, I am told. What causes high blood pressure and how do beta-blockers work? Answer We really don't know what causes high blood pressure, or hypertension. It is likely that there are a number of different causes. There does appear to be a genetic link in hypertension, but the reasons are not clear. Environmental factors such as being overweight, stressed and eating a high salt diet only seem to play a part in those people who have a family history of hypertension. Hypertension is very common, affecting more than 50 million people in the USA alone. It is more common among black people than white, which is definitely seen in South Africa.

Extractions: Coexisting diabetes and hypertension can set off a vicious cycle of increasing renal damage and rising blood pressure. Early treatmentbefore blood pressure reaches levels traditionally considered hypertensivecan preserve renal function. Late treatment typically requires multiple drugs and may not effectively control blood pressure and arrest progression of renal disease. Dr. Weir is Professor of Medicine; Director, Division of Nephrology; and Director, Clinical Research Unit, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore. Dr. Henrich is Chairman, Department of Medicine, University of Maryland Hospital. A 50-year-old man who had just relocated to the area presented for his first physician visit for evaluation of hypertension and diabetes. He had been treated for hypertension for the past 15 years. His current daily regimen comprised verapamil, 240 mg, furosemide, 20 mg, and fosinopril, 40 mg. He took his medication regularly. He also had a 10-year history of diabetes mellitus. It had been controlled with diet until two years ago, when he began taking an oral hypoglycemic agent. The patient denied a history of stroke or coronary artery or pulmonary disease. He did not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. He watched his dietary salt intake and rarely ate processed food. Always slightly overweight, he had gained five pounds during the past year.
