The Nice User 578 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 people who are more physically fit tend to have lower resting BP since their hearts don't have to work as hard to pump blood throughout the body.. so lifestyle definitely plays a role in the difference also genetics. some people have predispositions to heart issues while others don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harusaka 624 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 generally speaking, people in high socioeconomic classes have more money to care for themselves so they're likely to visit the gym more often and eat more healthily, therefore they are more likely to have a low blood pressure. people from less fortunate families doesn't have the money to do and often have to work laborious jobs, thus they are more likely to have a high blood pressure.

Moa_Nunu 3,109 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Not sure what level of bio you're taking so: High school bio: how fit you are, what you eat, genetics (how tall you are and how much you weigh) College bio: heart health, whether you're ill or not, diet (too much salt in diet, cholesterol etc)/exercise(too little exercise), fitness level, genetics, gender Medical school: total peripheral resistance (atherosclerosis, aging, hypercoagulative states - cancer/polythythemia/factor v leiden/viper venom, autonomic instability, drugs-antidepressants/stimulants, metabolic disease-hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism, diabetes, general illness/infection, shock, anxiety, exercise/rest), blood volume (blood loss, dehydration, poor protein intake, renal dysfunction), Heart function/Cardiac Output (size of the heart-volume and contractility, heart disease - heart failure, heart blocks, acute coronary syndromes, pericardial effusion), hormonal changes, pregnancy, age, fitness and gender. Environmental (#1 = smoking, #2 = diet) - contributes to atherosclerosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
