SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ diastolic.
Answer: blood pressure between contractions
◉ hypertensive on TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS.
Answer: systolic: BP = >140 mm Hg
and/or diastolic BP = >90 mm Hg
◉ which societies show significant increase in hypertension risk with
age?.
Answer: ACCULTURATED. blood pressure trends are largely
environmental!
◉ sodium intake recs.
Answer: <2,400 mg/day (JNCDETHBP)

Answer: it drops below resting levels for about 22 hours
(the greatest effect is seen in people with highest levels of resting BP)
◉ why does exercise and physical activity have an effect on BP
reduction?.
Answer: it's due to how the body recovers from exercise through
