Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Severe baseline hypertension (SBP > 160 mmHg and DBP > 100 mmHg) is associated with a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality in a Chinese cohort.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between blood pressure and all-cause mortality in Shanxi, China. METHODS: ) were estimated by the sex and age groups. CONCLUSION: Adults with SBP > 160 mmHg and DBP > 100 mmHg had a higher mortality risk. Sex and age difference was noted in both DBP and mortality risk.
