Why the study?
What is the population-attributable risk for cardiovascular disease associated with hypertension in Black adults?
What is the population-attributable risk for cardiovascular disease associated with hypertension in Black adults?
Hypertension is associated with a substantial proportion of cardiovascular disease cases in Black adults, highlighting the importance of blood pressure control in this population.
May support BP control emphasis in Black adults; extends associations but leaves open causal intervention effects.
These findings suggest that a substantial proportion of CVD cases among black individuals are associated with hypertension. Interventions to maintain normal blood pressure throughout the life course may reduce the incidence of CVD in this population.
