  • High Blood Pressure and Intraocular Pressure: A Mendelian Randomization Study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35762941

    ABSTRACT: Purpose To test for causality with regard to the association between blood pressure (BP) and intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma. Methods Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with BP were identified in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of 526,001 participants of European ancestry. These SNPs were used to assess the BP versus IOP relationship in a distinct sample (n = 70,832) whose corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) was measured. To evaluate the BP versus primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) relationship, additional Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted using published GWAS summary statistics. Results Observational analysis revealed a linear relationship between BP traits and IOPcc, with a +0.28 mm Hg increase in IOPcc per 10-mm Hg inc

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • reduce dietary sodium, adopt DASH-pattern diet Moderate

    Excess dietary sodium increases blood volume and arterial stiffness; DASH diet provides potassium and magnesium that promote vasodilation.

    Limit sodium intake to less than 2300mg per day; emphasize vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean protein

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Aerobic exercise reduces blood pressure through improved endothelial function and reduced arterial stiffness.

    150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous activity

Screening

  • blood pressure monitoring Moderate

    Genetic variant associated with higher diastolic blood pressure; regular monitoring enables early detection and intervention.

    Check blood pressure at least annually, more frequently if elevated
