Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of lunar phases on blood pressure in non-hypertensive individuals.Methods: A total of 158 non-hypertensive individuals were included in the study: 158 consecutive patients (72 males and 86 females, mean age 33.74±7.1). All patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). The average, day, and night systolic and diastolic blood pressures were compared between groups. Results: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed during four phases of the moon in non-hypertensive individuals. (New moon "38 patients," first quarter "41 patients," full moon "42 patients," last quarter "37 patients," p=nonsignificant (NS)). However, there were no significant differences in average systolic and diastolic blood pressures between groups. Conclusion: We could not find any relationship between the phases of the moon and blood pressure

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hipertansiyonu olmayan bireylerde ayın faz-larının kan basıncı üzerine olan etkisini araştırmaktır.Yöntemler: Toplam 158 hipertansiyonu olmayan birey çalışmaya dahil edildi (72 erkek and 86 kadın, ortalama yaş 33,74±7,1). Tüm hastalara 24 saatlik ambulatuar tansiyon holter takıldı. Gruplar arası ortalama gündüz ve gece sistolik ve diastolic kan basınçları karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Kan basıncı yüksek olmayan bireylerde ayın dört fazında 24 sa-atlik ambulatuar tansiyon holter planlandı (Yeni ay "38 hasta", ilk dördün "41 hasta", dolunay "42 hasta", son dördün "37 hasta"). Fakat, gruplar arası ortalama sistolik ve diastolik kan basınçları karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı.Sonuç: Çalışmamızda kan basıncı yüksek olmayan bireylerde ayın fazları ile kan basıncı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulamadık.
