BackgroundHypertension is more common among men at younger ages and among women after age 60, suggesting a possible link between endogenous estrogens and systolic blood pressure (SBP). We tested whether serum 17β-estradiol (E2) or any of its metabolites were associated with SBP among middle-aged and older adults.MethodsUsing a cross-sectional study design, we examined data from a population-based sample of 98 adults living in Cook County, Illinois. Age ranged between 55 and 69 years and body mass index (BMI) ranged between 19.8 and 50.6 kg/m2. Serum was analyzed for 17β-E2and 14 estrogen metabolites (EMs) using mass spectrometry. SBP was measured using a tonometric device that records a pulse wave at the radial artery. Demographic and health history information were obtained via questionnaires.ResultsUnivariate analysis revealed an inverse relationship between SBP and both natural log (ln) 16α-hydroxyestrone (OHE1) (r= −0.360,P< 0.05) and ln 16-ketoestradiol (ketoE2) (r= −0.360,P< 0.05) among women but not men. No significant correlations were found between SBP and 17β-E2in either sex. In multivariate analysis which adjusted for age, race, ethnicity, BMI, and use of cardiovascular medications, ln 16α-hydroxyestrone (16α-OHE1) (B= −5.3, s.e. = 2.1,P< 0.05) and ln 16-ketoE2(B= −4.7, s.e. = 1.9,P< 0.05) continued to be negatively associated with SBP among postmenopausal women.ConclusionsThese data suggest that serum 16α-OHE1or 16-ketoE2may be important for vascular health among postmenopausal women but not among similarly aged men.American Journal of Hypertension2009;22:1148–1153 © 2009 American Journal of Hypertension, Ltd.
