Aims To explore how change in cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with incident hypertension in adults, and whether the association varies between sex, age, body mass index, cardiorespiratory fitness at baseline and follow-up time. A second aim is to study how change in other lifestyle-related variables affects the results. Methods A total of 91,728 participants (48% women), normotensive at baseline, with two examinations from occupational health service screenings between 1982 and 2019 (mean duration 4.3 years) were included. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed as estimated maximal oxygen consumption using submaximal cycle testing. Change in cardiorespiratory fitness was expressed as the percentage change per year. Incident hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or greater or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or greater, or self-reported physician-diagnosed hypertension, at second examination. Results A large increase (≥3% annual change) in cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with a 11% lower risk of incident hypertension compared with maintainers (–1 to +1%), after multi-adjustment including change in smoking, body mass index, diet, stress and exercise habits. On the contrary, a small (–1 to −<3%) and large (≥–3%) decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness associated with a 21% and 25% higher risk compared with maintainers. Longer duration between the examinations was associated with stronger risk associations. Preserving, or changing to, risk level for the other lifestyle variables was associated with a higher risk of incident hypertension. However, a simultaneous maintenance of or increase in cardiorespiratory fitness attenuated the risk associated with smoking, and stress. Conclusion Preserving or increasing cardiorespiratory fitness should be part of any long-term strategy to decrease the risk of incident hypertension.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThere is evidence that greater body mass index (BMI) protects against depression, schizophrenia and suicide. However, there is a need for prospective studies.MethodWe examined the association of BMI with future hospital admissions for psychoses or depression/anxiety disorders in a large prospective study of 7036 men and 8327 women. Weight and height were measured at baseline (1972–76) when participants were aged 45–64. Follow-up was for a median of 29 years.ResultsGreater BMI and obesity were associated with a reduced risk of hospital admission for psychoses and depression/anxiety in both genders, with the magnitude of these associations being the same for males and females. With adjustment for age, sex, smoking and social class, a 1 standard deviation (s.d.) greater BMI at baseline was associated with a rate ratio of 0·91 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0·82–1·01] for psychoses and 0·87 (95% CI 0·77–0·98) for depression/anxiety. Further adjustment for baseline psychological distress and total cholesterol did not alter these associations.ConclusionsOur findings add to the growing body of evidence that suggests that greater BMI is associated with a reduced risk of major psychiatric outcomes. Long-term follow-up of participants in randomized controlled trials of interventions that effectively result in weight loss and the use of genetic variants that are functionally related to obesity as instrumental variables could help to elucidate whether these associations are causal.

Purpose To evaluate blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) in long-term survivors of testicular cancer (TC) treated with different modalities. Patients and Methods One thousand eight hundred fourteen patients treated for unilateral TC in Norway (1980 to 1994) were invited to participate in a follow-up study (1998 to 2002), including measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and BMI. Of these patients, 1,289 patients (71%) participated in the study. The patients were categorized into four treatment groups: surgery (n = 242), radiotherapy (n = 547), and two chemotherapy groups, cumulative cisplatin dose ≤ 850 mg (n = 402) and cumulative cisplatin dose more than 850 mg (n = 98). A control group consisted of healthy males from the Tromsø Population Study (n = 2,847). Results At diagnosis, age-adjusted regression analyses showed no differences between the treatment groups for any variables. After a median follow-up time of 11.2 years, age-adjusted SBP and DBP were significantly higher for both chemotherapy groups compared with the surgery group. Chemotherapy-treated patients had increased odds for hypertension at follow-up compared with the surgery group, and the odds were highest for the cisplatin more than 850 mg group (odds ratio = 2.4; 95% CI, 1.4 to 4.0). The cisplatin more than 850 mg group had a significantly higher 10-year BMI increase and a higher prevalence of obesity at follow-up than the surgery group. Compared with healthy controls, chemotherapy-treated patients had, at follow-up, increased SBP, increased DBP, excessive BMI increase, and a higher prevalence of hypertension. Conclusion Five to 20 years after therapy, cured TC patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy had significantly higher levels of blood pressure, a higher prevalence of hypertension, and an excessive weight gain compared with patients treated with other modalities and compared with healthy controls.
