between breastfeeding and either systolic or
diastolic blood pressure.
Articles were included if they fulfilled the following criteria: 1) having been breastfed in infancy was compared with bottle (artificial) feeding, 2) systolic or
diastolic blood pressure had been measured as an outcome, and 3) an estimate of the mean difference in blood pressure
between breast - and bottle - fed groups could be extracted from the article.

between breastfeeding and systolic or
diastolic blood pressure (20, 43).
For the study, investigators tested and followed 412 adults, including 234 women, ranging in age from 23 to 76 years and with a systolic blood pressure of 120 - 159 mm Hg and a
diastolic blood pressure
between 80 - 95 mm Hg (i.e., prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension).
The second number (
diastolic) calculates the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart rests
between beats.
A new study by researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and Boston Medical Center (BMC) found comparable long - term outcomes
between congestive heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction commonly known as «
diastolic heart failure» and congestive heart failure with reduced ejection fraction also known as «systolic heart failure.»
The latter number,
diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in the arteries
between heartbeats (i.e., when the heart muscle is resting
between beats and refilling with blood).
MP increased heart rate (F = 98, P = 0.0001) and systolic (F = 153, P = 0.0001) and
diastolic (F = 65, P = 0.0001) blood pressure in both groups, and MP's effects differed
between groups for heart rate (interaction effect; F = 4.6, P = 0.04) and
diastolic blood pressure (interaction effect: F = 4.0, P = 0.05), but not for systolic blood pressure (Fig. 1B).
They also saw a 5 mmHg (6.3 percent) reduction in
diastolic blood pressure, or the bottom number measuring the pressure in the arteries
between heartbeats.
The
diastolic pressure is the resting pressure,
between heartbeats as the pressure goes down ahead of the next heart pumping action.
The
diastolic pressure, 80 as illustrated in the blood pressure chart, is the resting pressure, which is
between beats when the pressure decreases before the next heart pumping action.
The bottom number, or
diastolic blood pressure, measures the blood pressure
between heartbeats when the heart rests.
These results are supported by observational studies in children and adolescents that found an association
between dietary fructose intake and both
diastolic and systolic blood pressure (9, 10).
(Note: the systolic, or top number, measures the blood pressure during contractions, while the
diastolic measures the pressure
between heartbeats).
Diastolic blood pressure falls
between 60 and 80 mm Hg.
The female group, however, respond positively to the camu camu extract only in four of the ten participants, with lower blood pressure rates in general, as well as discrepancies
between systolic and
diastolic pressure.
On the other hand, a general decrease in systolic and
diastolic pressure was notable among the participants who were given the camu camu extract, particularly in the male group, where a reduction was registered in eight of the ten individuals, with few discrepancies
between systolic and
diastolic pressure.
And the lower number,
diastolic pressure, measures the pressure
between beats when the heart is resting.
That is, two values are taken into account, the higher one being the blood pressure in the arteries that is recorded when the heart beats (systolic pressure), the lower value when the heart rests
between beats (
diastolic pressure).
There were signi?cant correlations
between body condition score and systolic pressure (r 0.227, P = 0.012),
diastolic pressure (r 0.494, P < 0.001), and mean arterial pressure (r 0.461, P < 0.001)(Figure 5)(Montoya et al. 2006).
Body condition score is signi?cantly correlated with systolic,
diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure This study was conducted in collaboration with the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria University, Spain, and examined the association
between weight status and hypertension in otherwise healthy dogs.
A higher level of
diastolic but not systolic BP was reported in children with obstructive sleep apnea compared with primary snorers.21 The Tucson's Children's Assessment of Sleep Apnea Study found that elevations in systolic and
diastolic BPs were independently associated with sleep efficiency, respiratory disturbance index (a measure of sleep apnea), and obesity in 230 children 6 to 11 years of age.22 To the best of our knowledge, no studies have examined the association
between insufficient sleep and BP in adolescents free of sleep apnea.
