Abstract
Hypertension (HT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The current study's purpose was to investigate the relationship between serum CRP levels and daily lifestyles, including physical activity, in Japanese HT patients. Lifestyle factors, blood pressure (BP), blood cholesterol, glucose, and CRP were measured in a total of 312 HT patients (153 men///159 women, mean age: 62.6 y). Women with physical activity of ≥≥≥ 1 time///week showed significantly lower CRP levels than those without it (p < 0.05). The data suggest that regular physical activity could reduce the CRP levels in HT patients, thereby maybe preventing CVD.
