“…Regression analysis revealed that overweight/obesity was a significant predictor of prehypertension in our study. Similar findings were reported by several other studies [6,14,17,18,22,23]. The association between BP and weight is strong and linear, even in the normal range of BP and BMI [24].…”

“…21 Agyemang and colleagues' study also suggested that BMI was strongly associated with prehypertension in both males and females, and TC was positively associated with prehypertension in females. 22 Some investigations also showed that overweight and obesity positively correlated to both prehypertension and hypertension, [23][24][25] and that dyslipidemia, elevated FBG and CRP tended to coexist with hypertension and prehypertension. 26,27 Greenlund et al's study showed a greater probability of suffering from hypercholesteremia and hyperglycemia in prehypertensives than normotensives.…”

Background There is little knowledge on comparisons of cardiovascular risk factors between prehypertension and hypertension in Mongolian populations, Inner Mongolia, China. Methods and Results A total of 2,589 Mongolians aged 20 years and over were recruited as study participants. Demographic data, lifestyle factors, family history of hypertension, blood pressure measurements, physical examination and blood samples were obtained and analyzed for all individuals. Prehypertensives and hypertensives accounted for 38.39% and 37.39%, respectively, in all participants. Multivariate logistic regression using proportional odds model showed that hypertension was significantly associated with age (odds ratio was 5.79, 8.84, 30.05 and 32.28 for age 40-, 50-, 60-and 70-, respectively), family history of hypertension (7.12), alcohol drinking (2.03), overweight (4.69) and hyperlipidemia (3.49), and prehypertension significantly associated with age (3.65 for age 70-84), hyperlipidemia (1.80) in males. In females, hypertension was significantly associated with age (8.58, 14.40, 33.00, 63.67 for age 40-, 50-, 60-and 70-, respectively), family history of hypertension (5.65), overweight (3.16) and high C-reactive protein (≥10.356 mg/L), and prehypertension significantly associated with age (1.72, 2.00, 2.74 and 6.67 for age 40-, 50-, 60-and 70-, respectively) and overweight (1.68). Conclusions Prevalence of some cardiovascular risk factors and number of risk factors in hypertensives were higher than that in prehypertensives. (Circ J 2008; 72: 1666 -1673

“…genetic predisposition, dietary factors, lack of physical activity) between women and men across populations as stated by Yu et al 27 It is important to mention that in studies conducted in Israel 13 and rural China 35 prevalence of prehypertension remained constant across age groups among men but increased with age among women. 13,35 Associated risk factors such as body mass index, waist circumferences, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, and LCL-C were all also more significant in women, which may be related to sex hormones. 20 These findings concluded that prehypertension and hypertension linked with gender differences apparently present although vary between cultures.…”

“…19,27,29,30,36,37 Pang et al 35 specifically found associations between BMI and elevated blood pressure. We found that overweight and obese subjects were more likely to develop prehypertension and hypertension, since overweight and obesity were more prevalent in prehypertensive and hypertensive than in normotensive groups.…”

Abstrak (OR = 2,6; p = 0,052), dan juga hipertensi (OR = 1,758; p = 0,498). IMT berhubungan dengan hipertensi (OR = 3,354; p = 0,041), tetapi tidak berhubungan dengan prehipertensi (OR = 2,343; p = 0,099). Kesimpulan: Prevalensi prehipertensi dan hipertensi cukup tinggi pada dewasa muda di pelayanan kesehatan dasar di daerah pedesaan. Intervensi untuk mencegah penyakit yang lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan sejak dini dengan modifikasi gaya hidup karena tekanan darah berhubungan dengan faktor risiko yang dapat diubah, AbstractBackground: Prehypertension and hypertension were related with many complications of nearly every organ, but often neglected by young adults in rural area. This research was done to observe the prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension among young adult in a primary health care of rural area at Cicurug, Sukabumi District, West Java.
