We examined the relations of blood pressure(BP) and clinical risk factors to the new onset of the 3 forms of hypertension. Methods and Results-Participants in the Framingham Heart Study were included if they had undergone 2 biennial examinations between 1953 and 1957 and were free of antihypertensive therapy and cardiovascular disease. Compared with optimal BP(SBP< 120 and DBP< 80 mm Hg), the adjusted hazard ratios(HRs) for developing new-onset IDH over the ensuing 10 years were 2.75 for normal BP, 3.29 for high-normal BP(both P< 0.0001), 1.31(P=0.40) for SDH, and 0.61(P=0.36) for ISH. The HRs of developing new-onset SDH were 3.32, 7.96, 7.10, and 23.12 for the normal BP, high-normal BP, ISH, and IDH groups, respectively(all P< 0.0001). The HRs of developing ISH were 3.26 for normal and 4.82 for high-normal BP(both P< 0.0001), 1.39(P=0.24) for IDH, and 1.69(P< 0.01) for SDH. Increased body mass index(BMI) during follow-up predicted new-onset IDH and SDH. Other predictors of IDH were younger age,male sex, and BMI at baseline. Predictors of ISH included older age, female sex, and increased BMI during follow-up. Conclusion-Given the propensity for increased baseline BMI and weight gain to predict new-onset IDH and the high probability of IDH to transition to SDH, it is likely that IDH is not a benign condition. ISH arises more commonly from normal and high-normal BP than from “burned-out”diastolic hypertension.展开更多

Methods and Results -The prevalence of AVC, as assessed by computed tomography, was compared in 6780 Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis(MESA) participants with metabolic syndrome(n=1550; National Cholesterol Education Program’s Adult Treatment Panel III[ATP III] criteria), diabetes mellitus(n=1016), or neither condition(n=4024). The prevalence of AVC for those with neither condition, metabolic syndrome, or diabetes mellitus was, respectively, 8%, 12%, and 17%in women(P< 0.001) and 14%, 22%, and 24%in men(P< 0.001). Compared with those with neither condition, the adjusted relative risks for the presence of AVC were 1.45(95%CI 1.11 to 1.90) for metabolic syndrome and 2.12(95%CI 1.54 to 2.92) for diabetes mellitus in women and 1.70(95%CI 1.32 to 2.19) for metabolic syndrome and 1.73(95%CI 1.33 to 2.25) for diabetes mellitus in men. There was a graded, linear relationship between AVC prevalence and the number of metabolic syndrome components in both women and men(both P< 0.001). Similar results were obtained when the International Diabetes Federation metabolic syndrome definition was used. Conclusions -In the MESA cohort, the metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus are associated with increased risk of AVC, and AVC prevalence is increased with increasing number of metabolic syndrome components.展开更多
