    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

  • DASH diet pattern Moderate

    Dietary approach shown to reduce blood pressure; relevant for genetic predisposition to elevated DBP

    Emphasize vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes; limit sodium to <2300 mg/day

Discuss with your doctor

  • Blood pressure management strategy Moderate

    Genetic association with elevated diastolic BP warrants personalized prevention plan

    Discuss screening intervals, lifestyle modification targets, and pharmacotherapy thresholds if BP elevated

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic exercise Moderate

    Evidence-based intervention for lowering blood pressure; particularly relevant given genetic predisposition

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

Screening

  • Diastolic blood pressure monitoring Moderate

    rs12426178 A allele shows genome-wide significant association with elevated diastolic blood pressure (p=1e-9, effect=0.177)

    Baseline measurement; if normal (<80 mmHg), recheck annually
