Key result
Persons with prehypertension were 1.65 times more likely to have at least 1 other adverse cardiovascular risk factor compared to those with normotension (P<.001).
Why the study?
Is prehypertension associated with a higher prevalence of other cardiovascular risk factors compared to normotension in US adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=3,488)

Prehypertension was associated with other CV risk factors; leaves open whether screening or intervention alters outcomes.
Greenlund et al. (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in Prehypertension (n=3,488). Prehypertension vs. Normotension was evaluated on Presence of at least 1 other adverse risk factor (OR 1.65, p=<.001). Persons with prehypertension were 1.65 times more likely to have at least 1 other adverse cardiovascular risk factor compared to those with normotension (P<.001).
