Incidence rates of ISH and IDH in this Middle Eastern cohort are hypothesis-generating; leaves open applicability to screening or prevention guidelines.
Cohort (n=8,573)
p-value: p=< 0.05
In a Middle Eastern cohort followed for nearly a decade, isolated diastolic hypertension developed at roughly twice the rate of isolated systolic hypertension, with distinct risk factor profiles for each condition.
Asgari et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Isolated systolic and diastolic hypertension (n=8,573). Risk factors (age, blood pressure, BMI, waist circumference, gender, marital status) was evaluated on Incidence of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) (p=< 0.05). During a median 9.6-year follow-up, the incidence of isolated systolic and diastolic hypertension was 5.7 and 10.9 per 1000 person-years, respectively, with distinct risk factors for each.
