Literature abounds on prevalence of hypertension in Nigeria and urban areas of Oyo state but none in Oke-Ogun geopolitical zone, which constitutes 10 local governments of the 33 in Oyo state, despite the fact that they have high genetic and environmental predisposition to developing high blood pressure. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of high blood pressure and associated risk factors among indigenes of Oke-ogun, Oyo state. A total of 10,000 respondents were recruited using proportionate sampling techniques. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Diets containing salmon fillet delay development of high blood pressure and hyperfusion damage in kidneys in obese Zucker fa/fa rats
Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular and chronic renal diseases, affecting more than 1 billion people. Fish intake is inversely correlated with the prevalence of hypertension in several, but not all, studies, and intake of fish oil and fish proteins have shown promising potential to delay development of high blood pressure in rats. The effects of baked and raw salmon fillet intake on blood pressure and renal function were investigated in obese Zucker fa/fa rats which spontaneously develop hypertension with proteinuria and renal failure.

Exercise and other non-pharmacological strategies to reduce blood pressure in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The incidence of hypertension increases with advancing age and represents a significant burden of disease. Lifestyle modification represents the first line intervention in treatment algorithms, however the majority of evidence for this comes from studies involving young participants utilising interventions that may not always be feasible in the elderly.

Response to Letter to editor “2017 ACC/AHA/AAPA/ABC/ACPM/AGS/APhA/ASH/ASPC/NMA/PCNA Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults”
I thank Drs. Brook and Rajagopalan for their complement on the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults. Despite their praise, Drs. Brook and Rajagopalan raise two questions that warrant clarification. First, they suggest that not all adults with systolic blood pressure between 140 and (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

A randomized controlled trial comparing home-based isometric handgrip exercise versus endurance training for blood pressure management
Aerobic endurance exercise (AEX) is an effective treatment in the prevention and management of high blood pressure (BP). Growing evidence suggests potential benefits from isometric handgrip (IHG) exercise, which may promote similar or even larger reductions in BP than AEX. We compared the effects of home-based AEX and home-based IHG on BP. Sixty healthy individuals (31 men; mean age, 33.1 years; mean BP, 126.9 ± 1.6/84.7 ± 1.1 mm Hg) were randomized to IHG, AEX, or a control group. Both exercise interventions were performed in the home environment. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Varying blood pressure in children: a diagnostic quandary interpreting the Fourth Report
Fourth Report guidelines on pediatric blood pressure (BP) are not clear when defining hypertension in children as “an average systolic BP and/or diastolic BP ≥ 95th percentile for gender, age, and height on ≥ 3 occasions.” We aimed to determine the prevalence of pediatric hypertension in a screening population based on two different guideline interpretations. Prevalence of hypertension among 2094 stu dents at four Houston area schools was calculated based on the summation or sustained model definition from Fourth Report guidelines.

We commend the committee on an outstanding hypertension guideline.1 Nevertheless, we respectively disagree with recommendations regarding low-risk hypertensives and combination therapy. Although the authors espouse a risk-based approach to therapy, largely to justify initial drug treatment of “stage-1 hypertension” in high-risk patients, there is an oversimplification in the approach to “mild hypertension”. All patients with high blood pressure historically considered mild (140–159/90–99 mm Hg)2 are now recommended to immediately begin pharmacologic therapy even if they are aged (Source: Journal of the America...
