Key Points

To establish updated clinical practice guidelines for the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of elevated blood pressure and hypertension.
Formulated by the Japanese Society of Hypertension (JSH2025) development and executive committees.
Collaboratively developed with multidisciplinary clinical societies, the Japan Medical Association, the Japan Pharmaceutical Association, and patient representatives.

Structured PICO

P

Population

Hypertensive patients with blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg, individuals with elevated blood pressure (130–139/80–90 mmHg), and all individuals with blood pressure ≥120/80 mmHg in Japan.

I

Intervention

Blood pressure management and treatment strategies (population-wide and individualized).

The JSH2025 guidelines emphasize the importance of maintaining blood pressure <120/80 mmHg and provide comprehensive strategies for population-wide and individualized hypertension management in Japan.

Implication

Supports initiating BP management at ≥120/80 mmHg in Japan; extends prior recommendations to encompass dementia prevention.
