Folic Acid Prevents High Blood Pressure in Women

Women who get lots of folic acid from both diet and supplements have less chance of developing high blood pressure than women who get very little, according to a study inrepparttar Journal ofrepparttar 114018 American Medical Association (2005;293:320-9) that re-analyzed data from two previous studies.

Hypertension (HTN) is defined as blood pressure higher than 140/90 mm Hg. HTN affects approximately 65 million people inrepparttar 114019 United States, andrepparttar 114020 prevalence is increasing asrepparttar 114021 population ages. Blood pressure is influenced byrepparttar 114022 openness and elasticity ofrepparttar 114023 blood vessels; HTN indicates loss of elasticity, narrowing ofrepparttar 114024 vessels, or both. It is frequently caused by plaque formation alongrepparttar 114025 inner vessel walls (atherosclerosis). Becauserepparttar 114026 heart pumps againstrepparttar 114027 resistance (pressure) ofrepparttar 114028 arteries, HTN increasesrepparttar 114029 workrepparttar 114030 heart must do to keep blood flowing to all parts ofrepparttar 114031 body. Chronic HTN can therefore cause thickening ofrepparttar 114032 heart muscle and eventual heart failure. HTN also increasesrepparttar 114033 risk of stroke and kidney failure. Preventing HTN is critical to reducingrepparttar 114034 incidence of heart disease,repparttar 114035 leading cause of death inrepparttar 114036 US. Public health recommendations are based on evidence that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fats, combined with regular moderate exercise, can protect against HTN.

Folic acid, one ofrepparttar 114037 B vitamins, occurs naturally in many plant foods (such as beans and green leafy vegetables) and is commonly found in multivitamins and B-complex supplements. Due to its role in preventing some birth defects, a number of foods are now fortified with folic acid, such as cold cereals and other grain products. Along with vitamins B6 and B12, folic acid lowers blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that has been found to be a heart disease risk factor. Several small studies have suggested that folic acid supplements might improverepparttar 114038 health ofrepparttar 114039 vessel walls and lower blood pressure.

Data from two previous studies of health and disease patterns in women inrepparttar 114040 US, known asrepparttar 114041 Nurses' Health Study I and II, were used inrepparttar 114042 current study to examinerepparttar 114043 effect of dietary and supplemental folic acid intake on HTN.

More than 238,000 women participated inrepparttar 114044 two studies. One study included women between 25 and 42 years old andrepparttar 114045 other included women between 30 and 55 years old. Women in both studies answered questionnaires about health and dietary habits upon enrollment. For both studies, follow-up health questionnaires were filled out every two years for eight years, and a follow-up diet questionnaire was answered after four years.
