    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.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Discuss blood pressure management with healthcare provider Moderate

    GWAS evidence identifies variant as associated with elevated blood pressure; personalized management plan may be warranted

    Review family history, current blood pressure status, and preventive measures at next visit

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic exercise for blood pressure management Moderate

    Physical activity effectively reduces blood pressure; especially relevant with genetic elevation risk

    150 minutes per week moderate-intensity or 75 minutes per week vigorous-intensity aerobic activity

Lifestyle

  • Sodium intake reduction for blood pressure management Moderate

    Low sodium diet supports blood pressure control, particularly important with genetic predisposition to hypertension

    Target sodium below 2300mg daily, consider further reduction to 1500mg daily per healthcare provider

Screening

  • Blood pressure monitoring and regular screening Moderate

    Variant associated with increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure in large GWAS study (n=526,001, p=2.0e-19)

    Annual blood pressure checks; if elevated, more frequent monitoring per healthcare provider
