Between two heartbeats on the vessel wall of the blood pressure is called diastolic blood pressure, also known as low pressure.After measurement, the researchers according to BMI of these young people were divided into normal weight, overweight and obese, according to blood pressure again divided them into normal, low blood pressure and hypertension.By comparison, the researchers found, BMI and systolic blood pressure are closely related. The higher the BMI, the greater the chance of high systolic blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, which means that the higher the risk.
