Can a risk score based on demographic and medical variables predict the development of incident hypertension in middle-aged and older adults?
A newly developed risk score using common clinical variables demonstrates moderate to high discrimination (AUC 0.75-0.78) for predicting incident hypertension up to 9 years in middle-aged and older adults.

Kshirsagar et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Nonhypertensive adults (n=11,407). Hypertension Risk Score was evaluated on Incident hypertension (diastolic BP ≥90 mm Hg, systolic BP ≥140 mm Hg, or use of antihypertensive medication).
