Abstract
Background: The objective was to identify stable and dynamic DNA methylation loci associated with cardiometabolic traits among an adult population from the Croatian island of Hvar. Materials & methods: An epigenome-wide association study was conducted using peripheral blood longitudinally collected at two time points 10years apart via Infinium MethylationEPIC beadarray (n=112). Stable and dynamic loci were identified using linear mixed models. Associations between cardiometabolic traits and loci were assessed using linear models. Results: 22 CpG loci were significantly associated with systolic blood pressure. Twenty were stable and two were dynamic. Conclusion: Multiple genes may be involved in the determination of systolic blood pressure levelvia stable epigenetic programming, potentially established earlier in life.
