Elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly increase stroke risk, especially in individuals with unhealthy lifestyle factors.
Does the combination of elevated blood pressure and unhealthy lifestyle factors synergistically increase the risk of stroke in a population from Northern China?
There is a synergistic effect between elevated blood pressure and unhealthy lifestyle factors in increasing stroke risk, highlighting the need for integrated control strategies.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
This study demonstrated that elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly associated with a higher incidence of stroke. A synergistic effect was observed between unhealthy lifestyle factors (such as smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and physical inactivity) and elevated blood pressure in increasing stroke risk. Smoking partially mediated the relationship between diastolic blood pressure and stroke. These findings highlight the potential benefit of integrated control strategies targeting both blood pressure and modifiable lifestyle factors.
