The etiology of hypertension historically includes 2 components: genetics and lifestyle. However, recent epidemiologic studies report an inverse relationship between birth weight and hypertension suggesting that a suboptimal fetal environment may also contribute to increased disease in later life. Experimental studies support this observation and indicate that cardiovascular/kidney disease originates in response to fetal adaptations to adverse conditions during prenatal life.
从历史角度来看,高血压的病因包括两个方面:遗传和生活方式。然而,最近的流行病学研究报告称出生体重与高血压之间存在负相关关系,这表明胎儿期环境欠佳也可能导致日后疾病风险增加。实验研究支持这一观察结果,并表明心血管/肾脏疾病源于胎儿在产前生活中对不利条件的适应性反应。
