Prehypertension and hypertension are associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular events among ethnic Chinese adults.
Chien et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Hypertension and cardiovascular events (n=3,602). Prehypertension and hypertension vs. Normotension was evaluated on Cardiovascular events (HR 1.73 to 4.52, p=<0.001). Baseline prehypertension and hypertension significantly increased the risk of cardiovascular events compared with normotension (HR 1.73 to 4.52; P<0.001).
