“…It is premature to exclude it as a risk factor because it is important for young adults to maintain an appropriate weight through exercise and eating habits. Weight control is still important, and an increase in waist circumference is a risk factor that requires strict management for young adults [15,25,26]. In addition, the importance of waist circumference measurement as a more sensitive indicator than body weight should be emphasized.…”

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to identify risk factors in the normotensive and pre-hypertensive group based on the blood pressure results of healthy young adults from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2018. The participants were 2225 healthy young adults between the ages of 19 and under 45, excluding those with a diagnosis of hypertension or taking antihypertensive medications. Of the 2225 participants, the normotensive group was 1498 (67.3%) and the pre-hypertensive group 727 (32.7%). Determinants of pre-hypertension were analyzed using multiple logistic regression based on a complex sample design. Factors related to pre-hypertension in young adults were age, smoking, waist circumference, diabetes, anemia, cholesterol levels including HDL cholesterol, and uric acid levels. Pre-hypertension is a pre-stage that can prevent the morbidity of hypertension through lifestyle control, so its management is very important. Furthermore, a young adult is a stage in the growth and development of human beings, in which lifestyles such as healthy behaviors, eating habits, and exercise are fixed. Therefore, it is very important to improve lifestyles such as diet, exercise, and smoking cessation and to control risk factors in young adults who are at the pre-hypertension stage for health promotion. Continuous health examinations should be conducted for young adults, and education that can be practiced based on clinical data through this should be implemented for community health.

Hipertensi merupakan masalah kesehatan nasional yang paling sering dijumpai di fasilitas layanan kesehatan primer. Prehipertensi bukan penyakit, melainkan berupa pengingat untuk menurunkan tekanan darah sebelum berada dalam kondisi hipertensi dan komplikasinya. Belakangan ini, kasus prehipertensi dan hipertensi meningkat pada dewasa muda (18-39 tahun) dan sering kali tidak terdiagnosis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui prevalensi dan faktor risiko prehipertensi dan hipertensi pada mahasiswa tingkat akhir Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Riau. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif observasional yang dilaksanakan pada Oktober 2020 – April 2021. Data penelitian diperoleh dari 118 responden yang terdiri dari 33 orang (28%) laki-laki dan 85 orang (72%) perempuan. Hasil penelitian ini adalah ditemukan prevalensi prehipertensi sebesar 34,7% dan hipertensi sebesar 5,9%. Faktor risiko yang didapatkan meliputi jenis kelamin laki-laki 28%, riwayat hipertensi keluarga 81,4%, indeks massa tubuh overweight 13,6% dan obesitas 22,9%, aktifitas fisik rendah 54,2%, perokok 3,4% dan ex-perokok 4,2%, konsumsi alkohol 5,9%, pola makan buruk 63,9%, tingkat stres parah 12,7% dan sangat parah 11%, dan kualitas tidur buruk 87,3%.

“…Prehypertension has been reported to be associated with various cardiovascular changes, such as damaged cardiac structure, impaired renal and vascular function, and decreased nitric-oxide-dependent vasodilation. [3][4][5] Preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular disease is a global priority, and the earlier prevention strategies are implemented, the greater the health impact is expected. 6 The term "prehypertension" was first introduced in the Seventh Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of Hypertension (JNC-7).…”

The state of prehypertension that is often neglected in young adults is not inferior to hypertension in contributing to a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Several simple anthropometric indices may be used as prehypertension prognostic tools, including Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Shape Index (ABSI), Waist Circumference (WC), Weight to Height Ratio (WHtr), and Body Roundness Index (BRI). This study aimed to compare several anthropometric examinations for detecting prehypertension in male medical students. The cross-sectional study design was conducted on 107 male medical students. Direct measurements of the respondents were carried out with blood pressure data collection and anthropometric examination. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AROC) analysis with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess all anthropometric measures’ discriminatory power to assess the risk of prehypertension in the participants. Participants with prehypertension were relatively older and had less active physical activity than normotensive (p<0.05). The mean BMI, BRI, WC, and WHtR were significantly higher in the prehypertensive group than in the normotensive group. However, ABSI was not showing any relationship with blood pressure. The process with 95% CI of blood pressure classification related to anthropometric measures indicates that BMI showed the highest AROC values for the prehypertensive state (AROC: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.63–0.82), and WC had the lowest AROCs (AROC: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.52–0.63). BMI, BRI, WC, and WHtr may be applied as prognostic assessments for prehypertension states in young adult males.
