Adults who have a history of allergies may also have an increased risk of high blood pressure and developing coronary heart disease, according to new analysis of cross-sectional survey data from the U.S.
The study, set to be presented at the American College of Cardiology Asia 2022 conference with the Korean Society of Cardiology Spring Conference later this week, found that the highest risk was seen in Black men.
They counted those with a history of allergies as those who reported at least one allergic disorder, including asthma, food-related allergies and skin allergies, among others. Around 10,000 adults had a history of allergies, one third of the sample cohort. After controlling for these factors, they still found that a history of allergies was associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure and coronary heart disease.
Of all of the allergic disorders included, having asthma contributed the most to an increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
