Abstract:Objective To explore the influence of metabolic indexes and lifestyle on the prevalence of hypertension in healthy population. Methods Totally 520 people who had health examination in our hospital between February 2014 and January 2016 were included into this study. According to the occurrence of hypertension they were divided into normal blood pressure group and hypertension group. The general information, metabolic indicators and lifestyle of the two groups were compared, and analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results There were significant differences in age, BMI, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, family history of hypertension, metabolic syndrome and illiteracy rate between the two groups (P < 0.05). The levels of fasting blood glucose, triacylglycerols, total cholesterol, creatinine, uric acid and urea nitrogen in the hypertension group were significant higher than those of the normal blood pressure group (P < 0.05). There were differences in smoking, drinking and occupation proportion between the two groups (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in occupation stress, occupation pressure, sleep quality, use of hypoglycemic drugs, or use of antihypertensive drugs between the two groups (P > 0.05). Age, BMI, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, uric acid, metabolic syndrome, smoking and drinking were the independent risk factors of hypertension in healthy people (P < 0.05). Conclusions Overweight, elevated blood glucose, uric acid abnormality, smoking, alcohol consumption and other metabolic indicators and adverse lifestyle are independent risk factors for hypertension in healthy population. Appropriate clinical intervention should be applied to high-risk people.
