Abstract
AbstractDespite an alarming increase in the prevalence of hypertension among Chinese young adults, longitudinal studies investigating factors that affect the maintenance of normal blood pressure (BP) in this population are lacking. Our study aimed to address this knowledge gap. A total of 7100 participants from the Kailuan Study who had normal BP and were aged <30 years at their first physical examination between 2006 and 2016 were included in this study. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess hazard ratios (HR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to assess the associations between influencing factors and the maintenance of normal BP in young adults. Analyses were stratified by sex. During the follow‐up period (mean, 7.98 years), 1921 participants (27.06%) maintained normal BP. Higher education levels (HR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.00–1.22), low salt intake (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.04–1.51), being underweight (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.02–1.31), and having normal weight (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.01–1.39), normal blood glucose (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.02–1.46), and no family history of hypertension (HR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.41–1.92) at baseline were found to be associated with maintaining normal BP. Compared with female smokers, female non‐smokers had 1.68 times higher odds of maintaining normal BP. This study identified factors that influence the maintenance of normal BP in the young population in China. This information can assist clinicians in establishing comprehensive and effective primary prevention measures for hypertension.
