Abstract

The authors aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of prehypertension among a cohort of patients presenting for a health check-up in Guangzhou. Using an age-and gender-stratified random sample method, 5170 urban adults aged 18-70 years undergoing health examination in Guangzhou were selected. Prehypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 120-139 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 80-89 mmHg. Overall prevalence of prehypertension in our study population was 35.15% (43.75% in men, 23.56% in women; P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age (odds ratio [OR] =1.257), female (OR=0.437), fasting blood glucose (OR=1.514), total cholesterol (OR=1.241), triglycerides (OR=1.236), uric acid (OR=1.222), and body mass index (OR=1.778) were risk factors for prehypertension. The prevalence of prehypertension was reported to be higher among men in our study population in Guangzhou.
