Key result
Each additional behavioral risk factor increased the likelihood of having a higher blood pressure level by 9-13% in men and 12-20% in women among Chinese adults diagnosed with hypertension.

Does the accumulation of behavioral risk factors increase blood pressure levels in adults diagnosed with hypertension?
Effect estimate: OR 1.08-1.13 (men) and 1.12-1.20 (women) per additional risk factor
p-value: p=<0.01
The accumulation of multiple behavioral risk factors is significantly associated with higher blood pressure levels in patients with diagnosed hypertension, highlighting the need for comprehensive lifestyle modifications.
Y et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=31,694). Clustering of behavioral risk factors vs. Fewer behavioral risk factors was evaluated on Blood pressure level (classified into six levels) (OR 1.08-1.13 (men) and 1.12-1.20 (women) per additional risk factor, p=<0.01). Each additional behavioral risk factor increased the likelihood of having a higher blood pressure level by 9-13% in men and 12-20% in women among Chinese adults diagnosed with hypertension.
