Parental overweight/obesity

1. Parental overweight/obesity is associated with incident hypertension in humans (HR 1.55, 95% CI 0.86–2.77; not statistically significant).

   “the association with hypertension was elevated but did not reach statistical significance (HR = 1.55; 95% CI, 0.86-2.77).”

1. Parental overweight/obesity is associated with baseline cardiometabolic risk levels in humans.

   “Among 4,982 offspring, those with both parents affected (group 4) had the highest baseline levels; however, annual rates of increase were not consistently higher.”
