- Abstract
The features of post prandial change in blood pressure was investigated in community dwelling elderly subjects (n=40) by 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Post prandial change in blood pressure was defined as the difference between mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) 1 hour before and 2 hour after each meal.Mean post prandial change in SBP for three meals was −5.4±11.7 mmHg, ranging from −41.5 mmHg to +14.9 mmHg. Mean post prandial change in SBP did not relate to 24-hour mean SBP, daytime and nighttime SBP. Night/day time ratio of SBP also did not show any relationship with post prandial change in SBP. However, post prandial change in SBP was significantly related to pre prandial SBP in all meals (r=0.43 ∼ 0.67, p<0.001). In 28 subjects, change in SBP after bath were also available from ABPM. Change in SBP after bath showed a significant and positive relationship with post prandial change in SBP (r=0.41, p<0.05).Those findings indicate that post prandial change in SBP did not relate to the level of 24-hour SBP as well as dipper/non dipper phenomenon. Elderly subject with higher pre prandial SBP may have larger postprandial decline in SBP. Post prandial hypotension may share the mechanisms observed in bath relating decrease in blood pressure.Am J Hypertens (2000) 13, 214A-214A; doi:S0895-7061(00)00733-0
