 QUESTION: Do diastolic blood pressure (BP) and other risk factors predict the development of hypertension in people who are not receiving hypertension treatment at baseline? Prospective cohort study of men and women in the Nijmegen Cohort Study with 18-year follow-up. 6 general practices in the Netherlands. 2238 men and women (mean age 35 y, 52% men, 100% white) who were not receiving hypertension treatment at baseline. BP, age, familial cardiovascular risk factors, smoking status, physical activity, weight, body mass index (BMI), serum cholesterol level, socioeconomic status, and history of diabetes were measured at baseline. BP, familial risk factors, smoking status, weight, and serum cholesterol level were measured … ER -
