Prehypertension is highly prevalent among urban Chinese adults, with significant sex differences in socioeconomic and anthropometric risk factors.
Dong et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in prehypertension (n=25,196). Obesity (BMI) vs. Non-obese was evaluated on prehypertension in men (OR 7.92, 95% CI 4.36-14.42). Among 25,196 urban Chinese adults, the prevalence of prehypertension was 56.9%, with obesity acting as a major risk factor in men (OR 7.92; 95% CI 4.36-14.42).
