Former skinny people who put up weight only after puberty

I am wondering if skinny people who put up more weight only after puberty are more pr0ne to high blood pressure than those who were always fat even before puberty. Maybe the va5cular system have a harder time adjusting at an older age

Theory on why some young people have high blood pressure

It is proven that more weight and muscle could raise blood pressure, since it requires more capillaries to support. It is also proven that during puberty or before, arteries are easier to remodel and expand via growth hormones, but this process declines significantly towards the end of puberty. If your body puts up more weight after puberty, your master arteries have a harder time adjusting, and would have to stretch out the arteries rather than growing them, causing the walls to be in a stiffened state, which causes a spike in systolic blood pressure. However, your downstream capillaries has greater capacity to expand and grow, so once your vascular system bumps out blood, it has an easier time releasing the blood into the downstream vascular system, which would not cause an increase in diastolic blood pressure.

So basically those that put up more weight after puberty or mostly towards the end of it are prone to higher systolic blood pressure but maybe not as much with diastolic blood pressure. Of course I am no doctor and know nothing about the vascular system, so most of my premises were gathered from Gemini. Is this theory consistent with young people with high blood pressure? My systolic blood pressure goes down significantly (~140->~127) after losing just 10 lbs of weight (170 lbs -> 160 lbs) but I was always skinny growing up (maximum ~130-140lbs) and only put up weight towards the end of puberty.

Someone help me answer this question

Premises

Tortilla is more than Singer

Jumper relates to Tortilla in the same way that Iron relates to Singer

Singer is more than Iron

Conclusion

Tortilla to Jumper

is unlike

Singer to Iron

My logic is that if singer is more than iron, than jumper is more than tortilla since singer relates to iron same way as jumper relates tortilla. So their relationship is the same, thus this should be FALSE? What am I missing here? Because the answer is TRUE
