There is one mathematical element with strong historical and philosophical background that exhibits remarkable properties and applications; the golden ratio (phi). Mathematically, the golden ratio equals approximately 1.61803. A rather provocative geometrical analysis of the arterial pulse according to the golden ratio was recently described, and herein, we aim to set out the hypothesis that individuals with blood pressure (BP) values that follow the golden ratio may have different prognosis than those whose BPs deviate from the divine proportions.
We used published data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey during 1999-2010.
We found that the deviation of the BP values from the golden ratio is independently associated with all-cause mortality.
This observation stimulates further research of the potential utility of the golden ratio of BP values on the diagnosis and prediction of BP-related abnormalities and risk.
有一个具有深厚历史和哲学背景的数学元素展现出了非凡的特性和应用,即黄金比例(φ)。在数学上,黄金比例约等于1.61803。最近有一篇关于根据黄金比例对动脉脉搏进行颇具启发性的几何分析的文章,在此,我们旨在提出一个假设,即血压(BP)值符合黄金比例的个体与血压偏离这一神圣比例的个体相比,可能具有不同的预后。
我们使用了1999年至2010年期间美国国家健康与营养检查调查的已发表数据。
我们发现血压值与黄金比例的偏差与全因死亡率独立相关。
这一观察结果促使人们进一步研究血压值的黄金比例在血压相关异常和风险的诊断及预测方面的潜在效用。
