In general, those who had received calcium channel blocker medication were at a 23% increased risk of developing glaucoma in comparison to those who had never taken the antihypertensive drugs.

We analyzed three POAG-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms: rs9913911, an intron variant in growth arrest-specific 7 (GAS7), one of the genes that influences IOP; rs944801, an intron variant within CDKN2B-AS1, and rs2093210, an intron variant within SIX6, known to be associated with vertical cup-disc ratio, an important optic nerve head parameter that is often used to define or diagnose glaucoma.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Amlodipine use in MedWatch doubled the prevalence of POAG, from 0.0805 to 0.177%, a small but significant increase. Multivariate analysis by logistic regression of UK Biobank data revealed that POAG risk was significantly increased with age, male sex, major alleles of rs9913911 (GAS7) and rs944801 (CDKN2B-AS1), and minor allele of rs2093210 (SIX6). Amlodipine increased POAG risk by 16.1% (P = 0.032). Amlodipine has not been associated with increased IOP. We confirmed this lack of association and in addition found that GAS7, associated with IOP, was not associated with POAG risk and amlodipine.

Obesity has been identified as a significant risk factor for hypertension in this age group. National Health Surveys and meta-analyses show increasing trends in obesity and pediatric hypertension in obese children. The diagnosis of hypertension in children involves percentiles relative to age, sex, and height, unlike in adults, where absolute values are considered. Elevated blood pressure (BP) in childhood is consistently associated with cardiovascular disease in adulthood, emphasizing the need for early detection and intervention. The pathogenesis of hypertension in obesity involves multiple factors, including increased sympathetic nervous system activity, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and renal compression due to fat accumulation. Obesity disrupts normal RAAS suppression and contributes to impaired pressure natriuresis and sodium retention, which are critical factors in the development of hypertension. Risk factors for hypertension in obesity include degree, duration, and distribution of obesity, patient age, hormonal changes during puberty, high-sodium diet, sedentary lifestyle, and socioeconomic status. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, with weight loss being crucial to lowering BP.
