Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between RAS system genes (AGT, ACE, AT(1)R) and hypertension, particularly examining how genetics and environmental factors contribute to the condition in Mongolian individuals.
- A case-control study was conducted with 299 people with hypertension and 281 without, assessing their genetics through various testing methods alongside their environmental conditions via questionnaires.
- Findings indicate that obesity, high triglycerides, and insulin resistance are significant risk factors for hypertension, with certain genotypes (specifically ACE ID+DD) showing increased risk, particularly in men.
