    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

  • genetic predisposition to elevated blood pressure Moderate

    Carrying the T risk allele associates with higher baseline systolic BP; physician can optimize screening intervals and management strategy.

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Aerobic activity reduces systolic BP 5-8 mmHg; helps offset genetic predisposition.

    150 minutes per week moderate intensity or 75 minutes vigorous intensity

Lifestyle

  • reduce dietary sodium Moderate

    Sodium restriction reduces blood pressure; particularly effective for individuals with genetic BP elevation.

    Target less than 2300 mg sodium daily

Screening

  • blood pressure monitoring starting in early adulthood Moderate

    Genetic variant associates with 0.394 mmHg higher systolic blood pressure; proactive monitoring enables early intervention.

    Measure blood pressure at least quarterly, or per physician guidance
