Key result
Obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and inactivity are linked to hypertension with high homocysteine, prevalent in ~45%.
Why the study?
Hypertension and high homocysteine exhibit a synergistic effect on cardiovascular risk, but the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension accompanied by high homocysteine in rural northeast China were not well characterized.
What is the prevalence and what are the risk factors of hypertension accompanied by high homocysteine in a rural population in northeast China?
Population
6529 subjects from a rural population in northeast China
Comparison
Hypertension accompanied by high homocysteine versus other groups
Design
Cross-sectional study using stratified cluster random sampling

What is the prevalence and what are the risk factors of hypertension accompanied by high homocysteine in a rural population in northeast China?
The prevalence of hypertension accompanied by high homocysteine is extremely high in rural northeast China, highlighting the need to address modifiable risk factors like obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and physical inactivity.
Chang et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension accompanied by high homocysteine (n=6,529). Obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and physical inactivity was evaluated on Prevalence of hypertension accompanied by high homocysteine. Obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and physical inactivity were identified as modifiable risk factors for hypertension accompanied by high homocysteine, which had a prevalence of 45.1%.
