The relationship of palmar distribution of sweat glands and hypertension in women of Khorasan province
Abstracts
advice on diet and physical exercise (51.06%, 57.48%, 55.28%, and 60.57%) good control (43.10%, 43.56%, 41.73%, 42.38%). Conclusions: Through OSABIDE know as is the control of hypertensive population in recent years. We have increased screening of our population, even though we should increase it. Control of blood pressure is pretty good compared with the numbers gives us the literature. We have a low prevalence, because we have enough people undetected hypertensive. doi:10.1016/j.ijcard.2009.09.168 EP000040 Epidemiological investigation of metabolic syndrome and analysis of relevant factors in northeast China WEI WANG, JUNQI NIU, SHUMEI HE, JIE SUN, CHUNYAN WANG, HAIYAN CHEN, JIAN KONG The First Hospital of Jilin University, China Objectives: Although the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is known in many developed countries, developing countries such as China are deficient in their methods to obtain this important information. This study has investigated the prevalence of MS in Dehui (a city in northeast China), analyzing the risk factors in hopes that this study will clearly define the magnitude of the MS pandemic in this area. Design and methods: Using a random sampling method, a total of 3,785 permanent residents over age 18 participated, undergoing a medical examination, liver ultrasound examination, blood glucose and serum lipids test. Results: Based on the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition, MS prevalence rate is 22.4%, MS occurs more frequently in females. Individuals within the 51–60 age range show the highest incidence. Among males age 18 to 50 years, the prevalence rate is higher than females in the same age range, however, after age 50, the prevalence rate among females is significantly higher than that of males. The prevalence rate of hypertension is 35.4% (male 36.3%, female 34.6%). Using logistic regression analyses, urban or rural, age, BMI, TC, LDL-c, fatty liver and smoking were statistically significant associated risk factors of MS, and greasy diet, salty diet, daily activities more than 2 h, years of smoking and alcohol drinking were not shown to be significant relevant factors of MS. Conclusion: In our study population, the prevalence rate of MS and hypertension are higher than the national report, MS is affect by the complexity bad lifestyle. Considering our results, it is concerning that nearly one-fourth of our population has a high risk of developing CVD and DM2 in the future. With this information, we should increase awareness in the public and take effective control measures to reduce the risk factors of MS. doi:10.1016/j.ijcard.2009.09.169
EP000049 The relationship of palmar distribution of sweat glands and hypertension in women of Khorasan province M. BEHNAM-RASSOULIa, A. KHOSRAVIa, N. MAHDAVI-SHAHRIa, A.A. DADGARb, H. EJTEHADIa a Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran b Department of Cardiology, Imam-Reza Hospital, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran Background and objective: Essential hypertension which affects 1 billion people worldwide is a multifactorial disorder and affected by both genetic and environmental factors. In human at about 14th week of pregnancy, sweat gland anlagen appear at uniform intervals along the apices of the epidermal ridges. Once the pores of sweat gland form on
S51
the ridge, they are fixed at that location. Considerable amount of researches have shown that pores do not disappear, move or spontaneously generate over time. The goal of the present study was to examine whether there is a relationship between the number of palmar sweat gland pores and hypertension condition. Materials and methods: By applying a digital microscope, the number of palmar sweat gland pores were counted in a circle area (12.5–16.8 mm2) of certain anatomical regions (a, b, c triradials and fingers tip) in 75 hypertensive and 55 normotensive females. All patients had a familial background of hypertension and their average age was 60 years. Results: Statistical analysis of the data showed that the mean count of sweat gland's pores on fingers and b triradial in hypertensive group was significantly lower than normotensive subjects. Conclusion: The meaningful reduction of sweat gland's pores in hypertension condition can be used for the early monitoring and diagnosis of hypertension in susceptible persons, particularly among those with a familial background. doi:10.1016/j.ijcard.2009.09.170 EP000055 Few aspects of children and teenagers hypertension according to the data of Panevezys Outpatient Clinic, Lithuania G. SAKALNIKASa, I. CEILITKIENEb, N. MARCIULIONIENEb, J. VENCLOVIENEa, D. SUTKIENEb a Kaunas Institute of Cardiology, Lithuania b Panevezys Outpatient Clinic, Lithuania Objective: To evaluate prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) among children and teenagers and assess AH correlation with several risk factors. Design and methods: Special questionnaires were used seeking to evaluate person's family anamnesis, height, weight, waist size, body mass index (BMI) and also blood pressure was measured. The assessment of children's arterial hypertension was executed according to the blood pressure dimensions by the age presented by Gessner I.H in 1993. Four general practitioners and five general practice nurses took part in these studies. Results: 912children, from 6 to 18 years old, participated in this assessment. There were 51,1% boys and 48,9% girls, the average age 14,5 years. Moderate hypertension was found for 5,5% of children and severe hypertension was found 1,7% of children. AH was stated 8,5% boys and 5,8% of the girls. Significantly low positive correlation was observed between systolic blood pressure and antropometric measurement among the boys from 6 to 12 years and from 13 to 18 years old and the girls from 6 to 12 years old. Medium correlation between systolic blood pressure and weight and BMI was indicated for the boys from 13 to 18 years old. Family anamnesis-arterial hypertension and diabetes—was determined for 83 (9,1%) children. AH was found for 9 (10,8%) children, who had family anamnesis. Conclusions: 1. Among the persons observed a significant correlation between systolic blood pressure and antropometric measurement and BMI. 2. It was determined that arterial blood pressure significantly depends upon age and sex. 3. AH was more observed among children, who had family anamnesis. 4. It is extremely important to observe children with problematic family anamnesis and promote healthy lifestyle, reducing overweight and obesity. doi:10.1016/j.ijcard.2009.09.171
