  • Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study accounting for gene-psychosocial factor interactions identifies novel loci for blood pressure traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34734193

    ABSTRACT: Summary Psychological and social factors are known to influence blood pressure (BP) and risk of hypertension and associated cardiovascular diseases. To identify novel BP loci, we carried out genome-wide association meta-analyses of systolic, diastolic, pulse, and mean arterial BP, taking into account the interaction effects of genetic variants with three psychosocial factors: depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and social support. Analyses were performed using a two-stage design in a sample of up to 128,894 adults from five ancestry groups. In the combined meta-analyses of stages 1 and 2, we identified 59 loci (p value < 5e−8), including nine novel BP loci. The novel associations were observed mostly with pulse pressure, with fewer observed with mean arterial pressure. Five

Lifestyle context

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

Lifestyle

  • Maintain strong social connections Moderate

    This variant shows significant interaction with social support on systolic blood pressure; low social support may exert a larger effect in carriers

    Regularly engage with family, friends, community; prioritize relationship quality

Screening

  • Regular blood pressure monitoring Moderate

    Gene-environment interaction suggests this variant's effect on BP is modified by social support; monitoring helps detect contextual changes

    Annual baseline, more frequent if experiencing social isolation or elevated BP
