A new study shows that while the death rate of people with high blood pressure has gone down since the mid-1970s, it's not equal among gender.

Women, despite having a larger drop in blood pressure than men, didn't do as well as men in other matters relating to heart disease. And women tended to gain more weight and were more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes.
