Fingerprints reveal: High blood pressure

Fingerprints may not only be useful in tracking down criminals, but they could also alert us of high blood pressure. A British study, which looked at 139 fingerprints, found that people with whorl patterns (like a spiral) were more likely to have high blood pressure than people with loops or arches.

And that’s not the only concerning study! Another one, which focused on 500 fingerprints, discovered a connection between the patterns and high blood pressure too.

But it’s not as strange as it sounds once you find out that actually, the whorl pattern is a marker of fetal development problems during some stages of pregnancy. These development problems are what lead people to have a higher blood pressure later on in life.
