Three-drug pill reduced blood pressure swings after brain bleed

The spread of upper blood pressure readings, measured by standard deviation, was 2.05 mmHg lower with the pill than with placebo.The spread of upper blood pressure readings, measured by standard deviation, was 2.05 mmHg lower with the pill than with placebo.

Body mass index history linked to midlife health problems

A 36-year cohort study of 1,948 people linked higher cumulative body mass index and greater variability to more severe heart, kidney and metabolic problems.A 36-year cohort study of 1,948 people linked higher cumulative body mass index and greater variability to more severe heart, kidney and metabolic problems.

Weight variability linked to higher death risk in older adults

Comparing the quarters with the most and least variable weight gave a death hazard ratio of 1.62, a relative risk measure adjusted for other factors.Comparing the quarters with the most and least variable weight gave a death hazard ratio of 1.62, a relative risk measure adjusted for other factors.
