Mean blood pressure values for groups based on combined ACE I/D genotype and body fat category
| ACE genotype | II | D carriers | ||
| Percent body fat category |
Normal fat (n = 30) |
Overfat (n = 15) |
Normal fat (n = 62) |
Overfat (n = 45) |
| SBP (mmHg) | 103.2 (1.3)* | 105.7 (1.9) | 102.6 (0.9)# | 108.1 (1.1)*# |
| DBP (mmHg) | 68.6 (1.1) | 70.2 (1.6) | 69.5 (0.8) | 71.4 (1.0) |
SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
* P < 0.05 for difference between II normal fat and D carrier overfat.
# P < 0.05 for difference between D carrier normal fat and D carrier overfat.
