Yes
Absolute Event Rate: 48.6% vs 40.8%
Hypertension incidence in Chinese adults increased significantly between 1993 and 2015, with regional variations showing higher risk in eastern, central, and northeastern China.
Luo et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Hypertension (n=12,952). Time period (2011-2015) vs. Time period (1993-1997) was evaluated on Incident hypertension. Age-standardised hypertension incidence in Chinese adults increased from 40.8 per 1000 person-years in 1993-1997 to 48.6 per 1000 person-years in 2011-2015.
