What the research found
A cross-sectional analysis of the Tlalpan 2020 cohort was published on 10 November 2026. It included 3,250 clinically healthy adults living in Mexico City. Mean age was 37.1 years (standard deviation 9.1). 2,069 were women. Among women, systolic and diastolic blood pressure did not differ significantly across height quartiles. In men, diastolic pressure was slightly higher in the shorter quartiles, and systolic pressure was not. In adjusted models, each extra 10 cm of height lined up with a systolic pressure 1.08 mm Hg lower in women and 1.61 mm Hg lower in men, and a diastolic pressure 0.61 mm Hg lower in women and 1.71 mm Hg lower in men. One time point, in people who were already in a healthy range. DOI 10.24875/ACM.25000240. Not medical advice.
Evidence level: Human study. A study in people, but an association isn't proof of cause.
