Description
Wei Liu and colleagues ask whether wobbling body measures over time raise the risk of heart disease and stroke, in a 2024 study. Blood pressure, pulse, and body weight are usually judged by their average levels. This team focused on how much they swing between visits in older adults. They built a score, from zero to three, counting how many of the measures swung widely.
Data came from three large aging cohorts in China, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Higher scores went with more new heart disease in the American and British groups, and more strokes in all three. Each added point raised heart disease risk by about a fifth and stroke risk by about a quarter. The score also tracked with weaker grip and higher inflammation markers. Steady measures, the authors imply, may protect as much as good averages.
