Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Polymorphisms and Blood Pressure Elevation in the Japanese: A Cross-Sectional and a Longitudinal Study over 20 Years in the Shimane CoHRE Study

Table 4

Association analysis between the BP change and the ALDH2 genotypes.

	ALDH2 genotype		value
	ALDH21/1	ALDH21/2 or ALDH22/2
(M/F)	339 (119/210)	231 (93/138)	n/s
SBP	11.0 ± 0.2	12.0 ± 1.1	n/s
DBP	1.0 ± 0.7	1.0 ± 0.8	n/s

SBP and DBP indicate values of increase in systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure, respectively: change in SBP and DBP after 20 years of the observation period. n/s: not significant.
