Background: Elevated Body Mass Index (BMI) is a significant risk factor for developing hypertension (HTN). Other factors, including family history, smoking, and energy drinks consumption, can potentially increase the HTN. Limited data are available on factors HTN in Coptic adolescent population. Hence, this study sought to investigate association between these adolescents. Methods: A screening survey was conducted 140 high school students who attended church services. After signing consent form, each participant interviewed asked answer questions. The blood pressure measured twice after 15 minutes of rest using Omron device. Both weight height were measured, BMI calculated CDC calculator. Descriptive statistics, univariate, multivariable logistic regression analyses used explore relationship other potential variables. Results: cohort included 70 females (50%) males aged 16-21. overall prevalence 45.7% (73% 18.6% females). Participants categorized by into normal (n=78), overweight (n=44), obese (n=18) groups. Compared group, odds ratio (OR) obesity groups 7.2 (95% C.I. 3.1 – 16.6, p<0.001) 1.9 0.67 5.5, p=0.27), respectively. Among total cohort, hypertensive individuals exhibited significantly higher compared normotensive (26.3 [23.5, 28.3] vs. 22.5 [20.6, 25.7], p=0.001). However, there no covariates (p>0.05). In regression, elevated remained (adjusted OR 3.8, 95% 1.6 9.3; p=0.002). Conclusion: our findings consistent with accumulative evidence about positive HTN, which part metabolic syndrome. Moreover, first profile Larger scale epidemiologic studies needed assess population best approach manage modifiable factors.

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a recognized independent cardiovascular (CV) risk factor with significant implications in the morphopathology of atherosclerotic plaques, particularly context myocardial infarction (MI). Structurally, Lp(a) consists low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle covalently bound to apolipoprotein A (ApoA), and its resemblance plasminogen (PLG) underpins dual proatherogenic prothrombotic effects. Elevated levels disrupt endothelial repair mechanisms, enhance deposition oxidized LDL, promote foam cell formation, which are critical for initiation progression atherosclerosis. Pathologically, plaques associated display hallmark features instability, including thin fibrous caps, increased macrophage infiltration, calcification, fragile neovascularization. These contribute plaque ruptures thrombotic complications. Additionally, structural similarity PLG interferes fibrinolysis, creating environment that exacerbates acute ischemic events. Genetic non-genetic factors influence plasma concentrations, inter-individual ethnic variability contributing varying CV profiles. Despite advancements understanding pathophysiological role Lp(a), effective therapeutic options remain limited. Current management focuses on mitigating traditional factors, while emerging therapies, such as antisense oligonucleotides short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) targeting hepatic ApoA production, offer promising avenues reducing levels. Further clinical validation these therapies warranted.
