“…5 Kim and colleagues' study showed that individuals with high normal BP have greater risk for CVD than those with normal BP. 28 In the current study, prevalence rates of overweight, hyperlipidemia (in both males and females) and TC concentration (males), TG (females) in both hypertensives and prehypertensives were higher than in normotensives, and CRP levels in hypertensives were higher than that in prehypertensives and normotensives.…”

Background There is little knowledge on comparisons of cardiovascular risk factors between prehypertension and hypertension in Mongolian populations, Inner Mongolia, China. Methods and Results A total of 2,589 Mongolians aged 20 years and over were recruited as study participants. Demographic data, lifestyle factors, family history of hypertension, blood pressure measurements, physical examination and blood samples were obtained and analyzed for all individuals. Prehypertensives and hypertensives accounted for 38.39% and 37.39%, respectively, in all participants. Multivariate logistic regression using proportional odds model showed that hypertension was significantly associated with age (odds ratio was 5.79, 8.84, 30.05 and 32.28 for age 40-, 50-, 60-and 70-, respectively), family history of hypertension (7.12), alcohol drinking (2.03), overweight (4.69) and hyperlipidemia (3.49), and prehypertension significantly associated with age (3.65 for age 70-84), hyperlipidemia (1.80) in males. In females, hypertension was significantly associated with age (8.58, 14.40, 33.00, 63.67 for age 40-, 50-, 60-and 70-, respectively), family history of hypertension (5.65), overweight (3.16) and high C-reactive protein (≥10.356 mg/L), and prehypertension significantly associated with age (1.72, 2.00, 2.74 and 6.67 for age 40-, 50-, 60-and 70-, respectively) and overweight (1.68). Conclusions Prevalence of some cardiovascular risk factors and number of risk factors in hypertensives were higher than that in prehypertensives. (Circ J 2008; 72: 1666 -1673

“…Elevated concentrations of C-reactive protein, 19,20 tumor necrosis factor-α, 20 homocysteine, 21,22 oxidized low-density lipoprotein, 23 gamma-glutamyltransferase, 24 microalbuminuria, 25 and other inflammatory markers 20,23 are associated with higher blood pressure. High-normal blood pressure has been associated with increased carotid intima and media thickness, 26 altered cardiac morphological features, 26 and diastolic ventricular dysfunction, 27 which might be precursors of cardiovascular events.…”

“…Patients with prehypertension have an increased prevalence of microalbuminuria (14). In this study of almost 2700 patients, those with prehypertension had a prevalence of microalbuminuria of 4.9%, compared with a prevalence of 2.8% in those with normal BP.…”
