The mean systolic pressure of the 158 healthy Irish Wolfhounds measured was 116; mean diastolic pressure was 69.2.

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.
That is, we found some evidence that small studies (i.e., those with higher standard errors, located to the right of the figure), compared with larger studies, reported larger
mean differences in
systolic blood
pressure between infant feeding groups.
In all five studies, null results were reported, and a
mean difference in
systolic blood
pressure of 0.0 mmHg between breast - and bottle - fed subjects was assigned.
In a sensitivity analysis, inclusion in the meta - analysis of the assumed zero estimates from the five studies (table 1) with no published
mean differences attenuated the overall summary estimate for
systolic blood
pressure (
mean difference: — 1.0 mmHg, 95 percent CI: — 1.6; — 0.4; p = 0.002), but there was still strong evidence of an inverse association.
Those who took part in the SAGE survey were categorized as hypertensive if the
mean of two measurements was equal or greater than 140mmHg (
systolic blood
pressure) or 90mmHg (diastolic blood
pressure), or if they were taking treatment for hypertension.
As a bonus benefit,
systolic, diastolic and
mean blood
pressure all fell significantly.
Paleolithic nutrition resulted in greater short - term improvements than did the control diets (random - effects model) for waist circumference (
mean difference: − 2.38 cm; 95 % CI: − 4.73, − 0.04 cm), triglycerides (− 0.40 mmol / L; 95 % CI: − 0.76, − 0.04 mmol / L),
systolic blood
pressure (− 3.64 mm Hg; 95 % CI: − 7.36, 0.08 mm Hg), diastolic blood
pressure (− 2.48 mm Hg; 95 % CI: − 4.98, 0.02 mm Hg), HDL cholesterol (0.12 mmol / L; 95 % CI: − 0.03, 0.28 mmol / L), and fasting blood sugar (− 0.16 mmol / L; 95 % CI: − 0.44, 0.11 mmol / L).
The combination diet reduced
mean 24 - hour ambulatory
systolic blood
pressure by 4.5 mm Hg more than the control diet did and diastolic blood
pressure by 2.7 mm Hg more (P < 0.001 for each).
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.
The
mean systolic blood
pressure among the control males is 143 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), whereas it is only 126 mm Hg among the treated.
