Prehypertension remains an important public health challenge all over the world and appropriate treatments should be adopted to prehypertensive group in different degree effectively. This review aimed to assess the prevalence of Prehypertension and provide effective evidence of the benefits of treating prehypertensive patients. The reasonable evaluation and appropriate intervention of prehypert...

background: because prehypertension identifies children most at risk for the development of future hypertensive disease, the purpose of this study was, to examine the association of prehypertension with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (cvd) in a large sample of youths participating in the community-based prevention education program family heart study. methods: we estimated blood pressu...

H ypertension is a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. The coexistence of hypertension and type 2 diabetes is devastating to the CV system (1). Lowering blood pressure (BP) is especially beneficial in diabetic patients, and therefore the goal BP in these patients is 130/80 mmHg rather than 140/90 mmHg, which is the goal in the general population (2,3). The Join...

Estimation of prevalence of risk factors of cardiovascular disease is important to design preventive programmes. This cross-sectional study was carried out in a port area population to assess the prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. The study included 500 participants (males/females-120/380). The blood pressure serum cholesterol and random blood glucose were assessed. Informat...

Background:The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of chronic hypertension and prehypertension conditions among children. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, a total of 1017 students in Kerman schools were examined during a period from 2013 to 2014. The weight, height, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure and family his...

The aim of this study was to establish a five-year cumulative incidence of arterial hypertension (hereinafter 5-CIAH) and its dependence on initial prehypertension, body weight, age and gender "Croatian Adult Health Cohort Study (CroHort)" data collected during 2003 and 2008 for the 1383 subjects aged 18 + with initially normal blood pressure (systolic < 140 mmHg and diastolic < 90 mmHg, and no...

BACKGROUND Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, little is known about the influence of prehypertension on CKD. In this study, we investigated the relationship between prehypertension and CKD in a middle-aged Korean population. Furthermore, we prospectively evaluated the effect of active BP control on deterioration of k...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular structure and function in youth with prehypertension have been incompletely investigated. METHODS Casual and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurement, arterial stiffness, noninvasive hemodynamic profiles, and cardiac structure were studied in a twin cohort of American black and white youth (n = 942; mean age, 17.6 +/- 3.3 years SD). A family history of essential hy...

A prediction model was developed in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) to evaluate the short-term risk of hypertension. Our goal was to determine the predictive ability of the FHS hypertension model in a cohort of young adults advancing into middle age and compare it with the predictive ability of prehypertension and individual components of the FHS model. We studied 4388 participants, aged 18 to...
