HEALTH: BLOOD PRESSURE:
MANY AMERICANS MAY BE UNNECESSARILY LABELED ABNORMAL
Blood pressure: 100 million Americans
may be unnecessarily labeled abnormal
[Recent item in Health and Medical News

From a March 9 2011 Science Daily news item
ScienceDaily (Mar. 9, 2011) ? As many
as 100 million Americans may currently
be misclassified as having abnormal
blood pressure, according to Dr. Brent
Taylor from the Veterans Affairs Health
Care System in Minneapolis and the
University of Minnesota and his colleagues.
Their findings show that these people are
not actually more likely to die prematurely
than those with ?normal? blood pressure,
i.e. below 120/80. Taylor and colleagues?
article in the Journal of General Internal
Medicine, published by Springer, also shows
that in those under 50, diastolic blood
pressure* is the more important predictor
of mortality, whereas in those over 50,
systolic blood pressure* is the stronger
predictor. The authors argue it is time to
consider a new definition of ?normal? blood pressure.
