“…A meta-analysis [21] of six cohort studies involving 34,556 volunteers, performed in order to analyze the effect of psychological stress on arterial blood pressure increase, showed that individuals with a greater reaction to stressor tasks were more likely to present an increase in arterial blood pressure when compared to those with a lower reaction (OR = 1.21; 95%CI: 1.14-1.28; p < .001). Although the study data showed a relatively modest magnitude of effect, the findings suggest the importance of controlling psychological stress as part of a non-drug treatment of systemic arterial hypertension.…”

Objective: To describe the prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and verify the association between psychosocial stress and systemic arterial hypertension in nursing staff. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in an emergency care hospital in Southern Brazil. An instrument with sociodemographic, labor, clinical data and questions of Job Stress Scale was used. Descriptive and multivariate statistics analysis was performed.Results: The prevalence of SAH was 32%. An association was shown between SAH and being considered overweight/obese, having a larger waist circumference, age and self-reported skin color. No association was found between psychosocial stress (Demand Control Model quadrants) and systemic arterial hypertension, as well as with the different levels of blood pressure. Conclusions: High prevalence of hypertension was found among nursing staff although psychosocial stress was not associate with its occurrence. Follow-up studies are needed to elucidate more clearly the influence of the workplace environment on the health-illness process of the workers.

“…The previous study showed the increases in SBP and DBP to the mental stress task were substantial and significant (57.61mmHg and 38.31mmHg; p<0.001) [24]. A meta analysis of cohort studies showed that individuals who had stronger responses to stressor tasks were 21% more likely to develop blood pressure increase when compared to those with less strong responses in adult aged between 18 and 64 years [25]. Administration of stress with air pressure 5 times a week, each 30 minutes, could increases the SBP 13 mmHg [26] with light exposure 3 times a week each 30 minutes increases SBP significantly [27], and with restraint a week increase 49.5 mmHg [28].…”

The relationships between stress and hypertension have been evaluated. Heightened blood pressure (BP) reactions to acute stress have been implicated in cardiovascular disease's development. Consumption of fruit or vegetables lowering BP. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Raja Bandung Banana (Musa paradisiaca L. cv Raja Bandung) on blood pressure after acute restraint stress and forced swim test.Twenty male Sprague dawley rats were divided into 4 groups (A,B,C,D) and adapted for 3 days. At 4 th day, groups were administered 2 g/200gBw AIN-93M, then exposed to acute restraint (1hour), except group A. After restraint, A&B received water, C received diazepam 0.5mg/kgBW, and D received banana 2.52 g/200gBW. One hour later, the forced swim test was carried out (45 minutes). Blood pressure was measured 1 hour after swim. Result showed, mean of blood pressure significantly increased after treatment (p<0.01) all groups. But, the increasing of blood pressure in C and D group was lower than unrestraint (A) and control (B) group. There was significant difference of blood pressure between control (A&B) and intervention group (C&D), but no significant difference between C and D. This result indicates that Raja Bandung Banana can prevent increased blood pressure on acute stress condition as effective as diazepam.

[15] Regarding coexisting diseases, most of the hypertensives were found to have both diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia, which was statistically significant. Among hypertensives, 45% were diabetic compared to 21.6% among non-hypertensives.…”

BACKGROUNDKerala is an Indian state, which is advanced with respect to various health indicators like infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, immunisation coverage, family planning acceptance etc., also social determinants like literacy, transport facilities, health awareness etc. But the state is facing the problem of a sharp increase in certain communicable diseases, especially the vector-borne diseases. The situation with regard to Non-Communicable Diseases too is a serious one in the state. Hypertension, which is well recognised as a cause for prolonged morbidity and decrease in quality of life has assumed the proportions of an important public health problem here. By this study we attempted to find out the prevalence of hypertension among adults residing in Kollam Municipal Corporation area. An exploration into the factors, which are associated with hypertension has also been done. The findings can help in identifying the pertinent aspects of high blood pressure among urban population. This information can be used in planning and implementing suitable steps in controlling hypertension in urban population. The objectives of this study are-1. To find out the prevalence of hypertension among adults residing in an urban area of Kerala. 2. To determine the factors associated with hypertension in the above population. MATERIALS AND METHODSA cross-sectional study was conducted during the months of February and March of 2017. The study area included 4 wards in the Kollam Municipal Corporation area. The study subjects included 300 individuals above 18 years of age, residing in the study area. RESULTSThe prevalence of hypertension was found to be 40% in the study area; 27% were identified as pre-hypertensives. Higher age and better educational status have significant association with hypertension (p value < .05). Also stress, comorbidities, increased BMI and waist: hip ratio, positive family history and alcohol intake were found to be significantly associated with high blood pressure (p< 0.05). CONCLUSIONThe prevalence of pre-hypertension is also high. Programmes focusing on weight reduction, stress relief, alcohol intake etc. and proper management of comorbidities can reduce the prevalence of hypertension.
