Hypertension prevalence and blood pressure levels in 6 European countries, Canada, and the United States.

Katharina Wolf-Maier, +14 more
- 14 May 2003 - 
TL;DR: The 60% higher prevalence of hypertension in Europe compared with the United States and Canada has not been generally appreciated and the implication for national prevention strategies should be vigorously explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mortality burden of cardiometabolic risk factors from 1980 to 2010: a comparative risk assessment.

Goodarz Danaei, +340 more
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data for exposure to risk factors by country, age group, and sex from pooled analyses of population-based health surveys and obtained relative risks for the eff ects of risk factors on cause-specifi c mortality from meta-analyses of large prospective studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

CKD Prevalence Varies across the European General Population

Katharina Brück, +28 more
- 01 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected data from 19 general-population studies from 13 European countries and investigated international variation in CKD prevalence by age, sex, and presence of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

A catalog of genetic loci associated with kidney function from analyses of a million individuals

Matthias Wuttke, +327 more
TL;DR: Trans-ancestry meta-analysis of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from 1,046,070 individuals identifies 264 associated loci, providing a resource of molecular targets for translational research of chronic kidney disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

An international comparative study of blood pressure in populations of European vs. African descent

Richard S. Cooper, +11 more
- 05 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: These data demonstrate that not only is there a wide variation in hypertension prevalence among both racial groups, the rates among blacks are not unusually high when viewed internationally and suggest that the impact of environmental factors among both populations may have been under-appreciated.
