DALLAS - Adolescent boys are far more likely to suffer high blood pressure than girls in the same age group, setting the stage for other health problems such as hypertension as they get older, researchers reported on Monday.
“The reason remains a mystery but it could be hormonal. We think it may have something to do with the onset of puberty in boys,” said Dr. Kaberi Dasgupta, lead author of the study and a physician at McGill University Health Center in Montreal.
Men are usually more prone to hypertension — chronically elevated blood pressure that can lead to heart disease — than women. But this is the first study to highlight gender differences in blood pressure among adolescents.
