PCBs and dioxins are two types of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Previous studies have shown that these substances leads to increased blood pressure in animals. A research team from Uppsala University, in a new study published in the February issue of the scientific journal Environmental Research investigated whether a similar link between levels of POP's in the blood and high blood pressure (hypertension) aneurysm can also be observed in humans.
1016 people who are all 70 years old were examined for blood pressure as well as 21 different POP's in the blood. The subjects aneurysm included in the larger study Prospective Investigation of the vasculature in Uppsala Seniors (PIVUS) aneurysm in Uppsala. aneurysm
In the group studied showed 72 percent elevated blood pressure (blood pressure treatment or blood pressure> 140/90 mmHg). When the researchers did not take into account the effect of obesity were two PCBs (PCB105 and 118) and pp-DDE, a breakdown product of the persistent insecticide aneurysm DDT, related to hypertension. When you then took into account the effect of obesity was only pp-DDE was related to elevated blood pressure. aneurysm
- This study supports previous experimental findings that show that this type of environmental toxins can raise blood pressure, says Monica Lind, a researcher in occupational and environmental medicine at the Department of Medical Sciences, Uppsala University.
