abstract = {We estimated the association of changes in body weight,
waist circumference (WC), fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass
(FFM) with changes in blood pressure and incident
hypertension using data from four German population-based
studies.We analyzed data from 4467 participants, aged 21 to
82 years not taking antihypertensive medication and not
having type 2 diabetes mellitus or a history of myocardial
infarction at baseline and follow-up, from four
population-based studies conducted in Germany. Body weight,
WC, and blood pressure were measured at baseline and
follow-up (median follow-up of the single studies 4 to
7 years). FM and FFM were calculated based on
height-weight models derived from bioelectrical impedance
studies. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood
pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood
pressure ≥ 90 mmHg. Confounder-adjusted linear and
logistic regressions were used to associate changes in
anthropometric markers with changes in blood pressure,
incident hypertension, and incident normalization of blood
pressure.In a pooled dataset including all four studies,
increments in body weight, WC, FM, and FFM were
statistically significantly associated with incident
hypertension and changes in systolic and diastolic blood
pressure over time. Decreases in body weight, FM, and FFM
were significantly associated with incident normalization of
blood pressure.Our data suggests that the well-established
association between obesity and blood pressure levels might
be more related to body composition rather than to total
body weight per se. Our findings indicate that gaining or
losing FFM has substantial impact on the development or
reversion of hypertension.},
