    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

Lifestyle context

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

Diet

  • limit sodium to under 2300mg daily High

    sodium reduction lowers blood pressure and hypertension risk, especially relevant for those with genetic susceptibility

    aim for less than 2300mg sodium per day, ideally less than 2000mg

Discuss with your doctor

  • hypertension risk and management strategies High

    genetic finding of substantially elevated hypertension risk warrants personalized clinical guidance for prevention and monitoring

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise High

    aerobic exercise reduces hypertension risk; particularly important given genetic predisposition to high blood pressure

    150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity

Lifestyle

  • maintain healthy body weight for cardiovascular health Moderate

    weight management reduces hypertension risk; important for individuals with genetic predisposition to high blood pressure

    maintain BMI in range 18.5-24.9

Screening

  • blood pressure screening annually High

    rs11229543-G strongly associated with hypertension (GWAS p=2.00e-15, n=315668, effect=0.045)

    check blood pressure at least annually; discuss any elevation with doctor
