Talking on a mobile phone even for a very short time each week can raise the risk of high blood pressure \u2014 a major cause of heart attacks and strokes<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That’s according to new research out of Southern Medical University, as SNWS, a British news agency, has reported.<\/p>\n

Those who spent just 30 minutes a week talking \u2014 even hands-free \u2014 on their cellphones<\/a> were 12% more prone to hypertension.<\/p>\n

CAN HEART FAILURE RISK SHOW UP ON A SMARTWATCH? IT’S POSSIBLE, STUDY SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

And just six hours a week of chatting on a cellphone raised the risk to 25%, the same source said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lead author Professor Xianhui Qin of Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China<\/a>, said, “It\u2019s the number of minutes people spend talking on a mobile that matter[s] for heart health, with more minutes meaning greater risk.”<\/p>\n

He also said, “Years of use or employing a hands-free set-up had no influence on the likelihood of developing high blood pressure.”<\/p>\n

The research was published in European Heart Journal \u2013 Digital Health, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology, on May 5, 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HYPERTENSION, THE SILENT KILLER: WHAT IS IT?\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Chinese team analyzed some 212,000 people from the U.K. Biobank \u2014 a database containing genetic and other health information<\/a> on some half a million British people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A total of 212,046 adults aged 37 to 73 years without hypertension were included, the study noted. They were tracked for an average of 12 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Participants who spoke on a mobile phone for 30 minutes or more per week had a 12% increased risk, compared to peers who used cellphones less regularly, the study found.<\/p>\n

Looking at the results in more detail, the weekly usage time of 30 to 59 minutes; 1-3 hours; 4-6 hours; and over 6 hours was associated with the corresponding risks of 8%, 13%, 16% and 25% increased raised risk, the researchers said.<\/p>\n

This was compared to participants who spent less than five minutes per week making or receiving calls.<\/p>\n

Also, the likelihood of developing high blood pressure<\/a> rose by a third (33%) in those with a high genetic risk who spent at least 30 minutes a week talking on a mobile phone, SWNS reported of the study.<\/p>\n

Overall, mobile phone users had a 7% higher risk than non-users.<\/p>\n

Said Professor Qin, according to SNWS, “Our findings suggest that talking on a mobile may not affect the risk of developing high blood pressure as long as weekly call time is kept below half an hour.”<\/p>\n

Mobile phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy, which has been linked with rises in blood pressure after short-term exposure, said Professor Qin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is believed that electro-magnetic fields emitted by the phones are behind the phenomenon, the study said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Results of previous studies on mobile phone use and blood pressure were inconsistent \u2014 perhaps because they included a mix of calls, texts and gaming<\/a>, SWNS said.<\/p>\n

Those examined were free of hypertension at the outset, the study said.<\/p>\n

Information about the use of a mobile phone to make and receive calls was collected through a self-reported touchscreen questionnaire including years of use, hours per week and using a hands-free device\/speakerphone, SWNS reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Participants who used a mobile phone at least once a week to make or receive calls were defined as mobile phone users.<\/p>\n

The researchers also took into account such factors as an individual’s age, sex, BMI (body mass index), race, family history of hypertension, education, smoking status<\/a>, blood pressure, blood fats, inflammation, kidney function, use of medications to lower cholesterol or blood glucose levels and more.<\/p>\n

The average age of participants was 54 years.<\/p>\n

Some 62% of those in the study were women, while 88% were mobile phone users.<\/p>\n

Added Professor Qin about the study, “More research is required to replicate the results, but until then it seems prudent to keep mobile phone calls to a minimum to preserve heart health,” as SWNS also noted.<\/p>\n

Almost three-quarters of the global population aged 10 and over own a mobile phone, the study noted, citing data from the International Telecommunication Union.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
