A Blood Pressure Drop as Temperatures Rise?

Published May 5, 2009 | By Lisa Nelson, RD

More interesting research findings I want to share.

A French study found a link between the weather and blood pressure, especially for individuals over the age of 80. As temperatures dropped 25 degrees, such as change from summer to winter, systolic blood pressure (top number) increased 5.0 mmHg.

Hmmm, another reason to retire in the tropics!

All the best,
