Abstract
Abstract
Background
To explore the association between hypertension and the risk of gallstone disease.
Methods
We collected the data about the subjects receiving physical examination. Gallstone disease was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound. Multivariable logistic regression was used to study the association between blood pressure and the risk of gallstone disease. SPSS version 23.0 was used for statistical analysis, and two-tailed P < 0.05 was defined as statistically significant.
Results
A total of 318,403 people were included in the study and 171,276 (53.8%) of them were men and 147,127 (46.2%) were women. Among them, 27,463 (8.6%) were diagnosed with gallstone disease on ultrasound examination, with 12,452 (3.9%) cases of gallstones and 15,017 (4.7%) cases of cholecystectomy. Multivariable logistic regression showed that hypertension was significantly associated with the risk of gallstone disease (OR = 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02–1.10; P = 0.03) and gallstones (OR = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.06–1.19; P < 0.01) and the association between hypertension and gallstone disease was stronger in women than in men. However, hypertension was not significantly correlated with cholecystectomy (OR = 0.99; 95% CI: 0.95–1.04; P = 0.85). Additionally, results showed that with the severity of hypertension increased, the risk of gallstone disease was also marked elevated (P for trend < 0.001).
Conclusions
The gallstone disease was prevalent and hypertension is significantly associated with the gallstone disease risk with a significant dose–response association. This study showed that the association between hypertension and cholecystectomy was not statistically significant, maybe hypertension correlated with gallstones but not with symptomatic gallstone disease which would require cholecystectomy.
