What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Cohort. Population: Hypertension (n=730). Intervention: Prehypertension vs. Normal blood pressure. Primary outcome: Incident hypertension (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.48-3.42, p=<0.001).

January 1, 2011Journal of Korean Medical ScienceOpen Access

Prehypertension was an independent predictor for incident hypertension over 5 years, increasing the odds of developing hypertension by 2.25 times compared to normal blood pressure.

Population

730 non-hypertensive individuals (265 males; mean age = 56.6 ± 11.1 years) from a rural area of Daegu, Korea.

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

5 years

Key result

Prehypertension was an independent predictor for incident hypertension over 5 years, increasing the odds of developing hypertension by 2.25 times compared to normal blood pressure.

Discussion

Member takes

Overview

May warrant closer surveillance in prehypertensive rural adults; leaves open optimal prevention strategies pending interventional trials.

Study Design

Type

Cohort (n=730)

Structured PICO

Population

730 non-hypertensive adults aged 20 years and older from a rural area of Korea, followed for 5 years to assess the incidence of hypertension.

Outcome

Incidence of hypertension (defined as either a new diagnosis of hypertension or self-reports of newly initiated antihypertensive treatment) over 5 years

Main Result

Odds Ratio: 2.25 (95% CI 1.48–3.42)

Absolute Event Rate: 32.7% vs 16.6%

p-value: p=<0.001

Over a 5-year period, more than a quarter of non-hypertensive Korean adults developed hypertension, highlighting prehypertension and older age as strong predictors that warrant preventive approaches.

Limitations

Blood pressure measurements were based on a single day, which may cause variation.
Loss to follow-up rate exceeded 20%, introducing potential selection bias.
Target population was confined to a rural area of Daegu City, limiting generalizability.

Lee et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Hypertension (n=730). Prehypertension vs. Normal blood pressure was evaluated on Incident hypertension (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.48-3.42, p=<0.001). Prehypertension was an independent predictor for incident hypertension over 5 years, increasing the odds of developing hypertension by 2.25 times compared to normal blood pressure.
