Estudamos a amostra das ouropretanas com prevalência de hipertensão arterial de (52,7%). O objetivo foi descrever os fenótipos sistólico, diastólico e pressão de pulso e correlacionar as variantes genética da ECA e AGT. Os dados sugerem que a prevalência de hipertensão entre elas estão associadas a idade, classe social, escolaridade, hiperglicemia, circunferência da cintura abdominal, e perfil lipídico. O alelo T foi significante com glicemia {p < 0,02 (OR = 2,2)} e cor preta {p < 0,002 (OR = 2,7)} o alelo D com idade {p < 0,01 (OR = 2,2)} e HDL {p < 0,0007 (OR= 1,5)}. O genótipo DD com a idade {p < 0,03 (OR = 0,7)} e HDL {p < 0,008 (OR = 2,0)}. A influência das variantes genéticas da ECA e do AGT tiveram pouco efeito sobre os fenótipos de pressão arterial, mas influenciaram os níveis de colesterol HDL e a glicemia, respectivamente. / We studied the sample of women from Ouro Preto with a prevalence of arterial hypertension of (52,7%). The objective was to describe systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure phenotypes and correlate the ECA and AGT genetic variants. The data suggests that the prevalence of hypertension among them is related to age, social class, schooling, hyperglycemia, abdominal and lipidic profile. The T allele showed significance with glycemia {p < 0.02 (OR = 2.2) and color black {p < 0.002 (OR = 2.7)}. The D allele with age {p < 0.01 (OR = 2.2)} and HDL {p < 0.0007 (OR=1.5)}. The DD genotype with age {p < 0.03 (OR = 0.7)} and HDL {p<O.008 (OR = 2.0)}. Influence of the ECA and AGT genetic variants had little effect on arterial pressure phenotypes, but influenced the levels of HDL cholesterol and the hyperglycemia respectively.

BACKGROUND: China has seen rapid increase in obesity and hypertension prevalence and fast food consumption over the past decade. We examined status and risk factors for Western- and Chinese fast food consumption and their associations with health outcomes in Chinese children, and examined how maternal factors were associated with child health outcomes. METHODS: Data of 1626 students aged 7-16 (11.6 ± 2.0) years and their parents in four mega-cities across China (Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Xi'an) were collected in the 2015 baseline survey of the Childhood Obesity Study in China Mega-cities. Weight, height, waist circumference, and blood pressure were measured. Food intake was assessed using questionnaire. Mixed models were used to examine the associations. RESULTS: Among the children, 11.1% were obese, 19.7% were centrally obese, and 9.0% had hypertension. Obesity prevalence was much higher in boys than in girls (15.2% vs. 6.9% and 27.4% vs. 11.7%, respectively, both P < 0.001). About half (51.9% and 43.6%) of children consumed Western and Chinese fast food, respectively, over the past 3 months. Compared to those with college or above maternal education level, those with elementary school or below maternal education level were 49% more likely to consume Western fast food (odds ratio [OR] and 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.49 [1.10-2.03]). Chinese fast food consumption rate increased by 12% with each year of increase in child's age (OR and 95% CI: 1.12 [1.02-1.23]). No significant associations between fast food consumption and health outcomes were detected. Adjusting for Western fast food consumption, children with lower maternal education were 71% and 43% more likely to have obesity and central obesity (ORs and 95% CIs: 1.71 [1.12-2.61] and 1.43 [1.00-2.03], respectively), and maternal body mass index was positively associated with child obesity, central obesity, and hypertension (ORs and 95% CIs: 1.11 [1.06-1.17], 1.12 [1.07-1.17], and 1.09 [1.03-1.15], respectively). Results were similar when Chinese fast food consumption was adjusted for. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of fast food consumption, obesity and hypertension is high among children in major cities in China. Maternal factors affect child outcomes.
