Causal relevance of different blood pressure traits on risk of cardiovascular diseases: GWAS and Mendelian randomisation in 100,000 Chinese adults - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39048560
ABSTRACT: Elevated blood pressure (BP) is major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted predominantly in populations of European ancestry have identified >2,000 BP-associated loci, but other ancestries have been less well-studied. We conducted GWAS of systolic, diastolic, pulse, and mean arterial BP in 100,453 Chinese adults. We identified 128 non-overlapping loci associated with one or more BP traits, including 74 newly-reported associations. Despite strong genetic correlations between populations, we identified appreciably higher heritability and larger variant effect sizes in Chinese compared with European or Japanese ancestry populations. Using instruments derived from these GWAS, multivariable Mendelian randomisation demonstrated

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Diet
-
limit dietary sodium Moderate
Sodium restriction lowers blood pressure; particularly important for individuals with genetic predisposition to hypertension.
Aim for less than 2,300 mg sodium daily
Exercise
-
regular aerobic exercise Moderate
Physical activity reduces blood pressure through improved endothelial function and vascular tone, particularly important for genetic hypertension risk.
150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity
Screening
-
blood pressure monitoring Moderate
T allele is associated with higher diastolic and mean arterial pressure in large cohorts, indicating elevated hypertension risk.
Annual blood pressure screening, more frequently if elevated
