Key result
The incidence of prehypertension in young adults worldwide ranges from 37.5% to 77.1%, necessitating early lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to prevent future hypertension and organ damage.
Why the study?
Prehypertension is common in young adults, and identifying high-risk groups is important for early intervention to prevent future hypertension and organ damage.
Prehypertension is highly prevalent among young adults globally and warrants early screening and targeted lifestyle or pharmacological interventions to prevent progression to hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

Raises awareness for early BP monitoring in young adults; leaves open optimal intervention thresholds pending prospective trials.
The incidence of prehypertension (blood pressure 120-139 and/or 80-89 mm Hg) in young adults worldwide ranges from ~37.5% to 77.1%. Identifying high-risk groups of prehypertension in young adults is helpful for early and effective interventions and treatments to reduce the occurrence of future hypertension and organ damage. This review summarized the epidemiological characteristics, disease intervention measures, and disease progression characteristics of prehypertension to provide a basis for the development of targeted intervention measures for young adults with prehypertension.

Ma et al. (2020) conducted a review in Prehypertension. Prehypertension management (lifestyle, diet, and pharmacological interventions) was evaluated. The incidence of prehypertension in young adults worldwide ranges from 37.5% to 77.1%, necessitating early lifestyle and pharmacological interventions to prevent future hypertension and organ damage.
