Endogenous and exogenous determinants of sex differences in blood pressure
摘要
Recent studies that have analyzed longitudinal data on blood pressure (BP) have led to a rapidly evolving understanding of sex differences in vascular aging phenotypes. We summarized the different BP trajectories in women and in men over the life course, and the accumulating evidence indicating that the effect of exogenous stressors, in conjunction with endogenous factors, impact BP trajectories to a larger extent in women than in men.
