May inform prehypertension risk assessment by age and adiposity in Mexican adults; leaves open longitudinal confirmation and causality.
Guzmán‐Guzmán et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Prehypertension (n=900). Age, central obesity, and body fat was evaluated on Prehypertension (OR 2.6, p=<.001). Middle age (OR 2.6, P<0.001) and body fat (OR 2.37, P=0.001) were significantly associated with higher odds of prehypertension in Mexican adults.
