Abstract
Indices of mineral metabolism in blood and urine were analysed in relation to blood pressure in 97 healthy subjects aged 16-82 years. In a multivariate analysis, after allowing for the effects of sex, body mass index (BMI) and age, there was an inverse relationship between plasma level of ionized calcium and mean blood pressure (MBP) (beta = -50.0 mmHg/mmol/l P-ionized calcium, p = 0.0005). In univariate analyses MBP also showed statistically significant inverse relationships with plasma ionized calcium, serum phosphate and renal threshold concentration of phosphate; positive relationships to MBP were found for fasting urinary excretion of calcium and cyclic adenosine monophosphate. However, when examined multivariately, only the relation... (More)
Indices of mineral metabolism in blood and urine were analysed in relation to blood pressure in 97 healthy subjects aged 16-82 years. In a multivariate analysis, after allowing for the effects of sex, body mass index (BMI) and age, there was an inverse relationship between plasma level of ionized calcium and mean blood pressure (MBP) (beta = -50.0 mmHg/mmol/l P-ionized calcium, p = 0.0005). In univariate analyses MBP also showed statistically significant inverse relationships with plasma ionized calcium, serum phosphate and renal threshold concentration of phosphate; positive relationships to MBP were found for fasting urinary excretion of calcium and cyclic adenosine monophosphate. However, when examined multivariately, only the relation between MBP and plasma ionized calcium persisted. This study supports previous findings of an inverse relationship between blood pressure and serum ionized calcium and extends the observations to the physiological range. It is further evident from this study that BMI and age should be taken into account in analyses of the relationship between blood pressure and mineral metabolism. (Less)
