Minor allele frequency (MAF) of rs3782886 (BRAP) and rs671 (ALDH2) are reported to be inversely associated with blood pressure. Another study revealed that hematopoietic activity which is evaluated by reticulocytes could influenced on hypertension status partly by indicating activity of endothelial maintenance. Therefore, to evaluate the association between genetic factor and hypertension, influence of hematopoietic activity should be considered. A multi-faced analysis was performed in a simple general elderly population model (1,313 older Japanese aged 60–98 years). Participants were stratified by median values of reticulocytes (5.21 × 10 4  cells/μL for men and 4.65 × 10 4  cells/μL for women). Independent of known cardiovascular risk factors, MAF of rs3782886 and rs671 are significantly inversely associated with hypertension for participants with high hematopoietic activity (high reticulocytes level) (fully adjusted odds ratio (ORs) were 0.72 (0.55, 0.96) for rs3782886 and 0.72 (0.54, 0.96) for rs671) but not for low reticulocytes count (the corresponding values were 1.05 (0.79, 1.39) and 1.08 (0.81, 1.45), respectively). Hematopoietic activity evaluated by reticulocytes levels could influence on the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (rs3782886 and rs671) and hypertension. Those results were efficient tool to clarify the part of the mechanism that underlying the association between genetic factor and hypertension.
