SES may influence BP control through obesity indices, such as body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). This study aimed to understand the relationships between SES and BP control in the elderly hypertensive population, and to determine whether BMI and WC mediate the relationship between SES ...
3 days ago · The PASTBI was expressed in quartiles ranging from Q1 – low PA/high ST to Q4 – high PA/low ST. The association between PASTBI and all-cause mortality was explored (in 2022) using the Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusted for socio-demographics, lifestyle factors, waist circumference, and the number of comorbidities.
