Is dyslipidemia associated with the prevalence of hypertension in Chinese adults without type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Cholesterol index and non-HDL-C are independent risk factors for hypertension and may be useful for predicting its prevalence, particularly in women without type 2 diabetes.
In Chinese adults without type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerotic indices were significantly higher in hypertensive populations compared with those in normotensive populations, regardless of hypertension levels. Meanwhile, SBP and DBP were linearly and positively related to atherosclerotic indices. Besides, the cholesterol index and non-HDL-C were independent risk factors for the prevalence of hypertension, and they could be adopted for effectively predicting the prevalence of hypertension in women.
