Effects of daily exercise on blood pressure, plasma glucose, and obesity measures in 55-64-year-old obese Asian Indian men: The Calcutta longitudinal study
Article Abstract:
A longitudinal study was conducted in Calcutta, India to investigate the effects of daily exercise through brisk walking on blood pressure, plasma glucose and obesity measures in 55-64-year-old Asian Indian men.

Does the relationship of ambulatory blood pressure to position and location vary by age, sex, race/ethnicity, or body mass index?
Article Abstract:
Ambulatory blood pressure is not significantly affected by age, gender, body mass index or race/ethnicity, when controlling for work and home locations. Differentiations in work and home blood pressures are affected by position and location, such as standing and sitting down. Age and race may be significant, however, in asleep and awake diastolic blood pressures.
