Zhang et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension and cardiovascular risk factor clustering (n=2,532). Clustering of cardiovascular risk factors (hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, alcohol drinking, overweight, central obesity) vs. Absence of risk factors was evaluated on Hypertension (SBP ≥140 mmHg, DBP ≥90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medications) (OR 4.361, 95% CI 2.886-6.589, p=<0.0001). Clustering of four or more cardiovascular risk factors was associated with a significantly increased risk of hypertension (OR 4.361) compared to having no risk factors in a rural Mongolian population.
