  • Evidence Based Physical Activity for School-age Youth

    Open AccessWilliam B Strong, Robert M Malina et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Pediatrics2005

  • The Effects of Life Events on Cardiovascular Reactivity to Behavioral Stressors As a Function of Socioeconomic Status, Ethnicity, and Sex

    Linda Musante, Frank A Treiber et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2000

    OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this study were 1) to examine the effects of stressful life events on cardiovascular reactivity to acute laboratory stressors in youth and 2) to determine whether these effects varied as a function of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and/or sex. METHODS: Four hundred eighty-three youths (mean age = 16.7 years; 249 Caucasian Americans [126 males, 123 females] and 234 African Americans [109 males, 125 females]) completed …

  • Effects of Transcendental Meditation[registered Sign] on Cardiovascular Reactivity in Adolescents With High Normal Blood Pressure

  • Acute Effects of Transcendental Meditation1 on Hemodynamic Functioning in Middle-Aged Adults

    Vernon A Barnes, Frank A Treiber et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1999

    OBJECTIVE: Increased peripheral vasoconstriction (ie, total peripheral resistance, or TPR) has been implicated as playing an important role in the early development of essential hypertension. Some studies have demonstrated that Transcendental Meditation (TM) reduces high blood pressure, but the hemodynamic adjustments behind these blood pressure reductions have not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to provide a preliminary investigation …

  • Determinants of Endothelium-Dependent Femoral Artery Vasodilation in Youth

    Frank A Treiber, Frank Treiber et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1997

    OBJECTIVE: Decreased endothelium-dependent arterial dilation to reactive hyperemia has been shown in adults to be associated with various manifestations of cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular risk factors. In a sample of children, we examined the relationships between flow-mediated femoral artery dilation and anthropometric, demographic, cardiovascular, and serum lipid variables that have been associated with cardiovascular diseases. METHO…

  • Pressor Reactivity, Ethnicity, and 24-Hour Ambulatory Monitoring in Children from Hypertensive Families

    Frank A Treiber, Joseph K Murphy et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine1994

    We assessed blood pressure responses of a multiethnic (Black and White) sample of 120 children of hypertensive families to orthostasis, video game, forehead cold, and dynamic exercise, and monitored the children's ambulatory pressure 24 hours later. Thirteen children were studied twice (1-year stability). The Black children exhibited higher 24-hour ambulatory systolic and diastolic pressures than the White children. Regardless of ethnicity, peak …

  • Ethnicity, family history of hypertension and patterns of hemodynamic reactivity in boys

    Frank A Treiber, Francis McCaffrey et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1993

    This study compared blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, vascular resistance, and cardiac output responses to a video game challenge and forehead cold stressor in 6- to 15-year-old males who varied in ethnicity and family history of essential hypertension. Controlling for age, significant baseline differences were obtained with black boys exhibiting higher systolic and diastolic pressures than their white cohorts. Positive family history ch…

  • Relationship between Family Environment and Children's Hemodynamic Responses to Stress

    Lynda Brown Wright, Frank A Treiber et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine1993

    Because interpersonal relationships may have an impact on the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, the authors examined the prospective relationship of family functioning upon hemodynamic stress responses in 87 6- to 8-year-old children. The parents completed the cohesion, conflict, expressiveness, and control subscales of the Family Environment Scale; 2 years later, the authors assessed the children's hemodynamic responses to postural chan…

  • Hostility

    Linda Musante, Frank A Treiber et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine1992

    The relationship between hostility and coronary artery disease may be partially mediated by unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. This study examined the relationship between hostility, lifestyle behaviors, and physical risk factors in 138 adult men and women. Subjects completed the Cook and Medley Hostility Scale (Ho scale) and self-reports of their dietary habits, consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, and physical activity. Recent findings indicated …

  • Racial differences in hemodynamic responses to the cold face stimulus in children and adults

    Frank A Treiber, Linda Musante et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1990

    The prevalence of essential hypertension is higher among blacks than whites. One reason for this difference may be that blacks are more reactive to stressors that produce vasoconstrictive responses. Two studies were conducted to test this hypothesis, one with 10- to 14-year-old males (20 whites, 20 blacks) and one with young adult males (10 whites, 10 blacks). Subjects had blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistanc…

  • The Relationship between Hostility and Blood Pressure in Children

    Frank A Treiber, Linda Musante et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine1989

    The relationship between two dimensions of hostility and resting blood pressure was examined in 98 children aged 7 to 10 years. The children completed the expressive and experienced hostility subscales of the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory and one week later had blood pressure and obesity levels assessed. Multiple regression analyses and analyses of variance showed that expressive hostility was positively associated with blood pressure, although…
