Key result
Prehypertension was significantly associated with the clustering of 3 or more cardiovascular risk factors compared to normotension (OR 2.44), with an even stronger association in hypertension (OR 6.95).

May inform risk stratification in prehypertension; leaves open whether intervention reduces clustered risks in similar populations.

Prehypertension is associated with significant clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in rural Mongolian populations, highlighting the need for early intervention to prevent progression to hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Zhang et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Prehypertension and Hypertension (n=2,589). Prehypertension vs. Normotension was evaluated on Clustering of ≥3 cardiovascular risk factors (OR 2.44, 95% CI 1.62, 3.68, p=<0.01). Prehypertension was significantly associated with the clustering of 3 or more cardiovascular risk factors compared to normotension (OR 2.44), with an even stronger association in hypertension (OR 6.95).
