Having higher muscle mass influences blood pressure measurements

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Current clinical and epidemiological evidence indicates that skeletal muscle mass is significantly associated with blood pressure measurements and arterial stiffness indicators.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently demonstrate that skeletal muscle mass—whether high or low—correlates with or independently predicts blood pressure parameters and vascular stiffness markers (such as in large UK Biobank cohorts and smaller specialized studies). Therefore, the claim that higher muscle mass influences blood pressure measurements is supported.
