Association of blood pressure measurements in sitting, supine, and standing positions with the 10-year risk of mortality in Korean adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This prospective cohort study investigated the association between blood pressure (BP) as measured in different body postures and all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality risk.

Methods

This population-based investigation included 8,901 Korean adults in 2001 and 2002. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured sequentially in the sitting, supine, and standing positions and classified into 4 categories: 1) normal, SBP <120 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg; 2) high normal/prehypertension, SBP 120-129 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg/SBP 130-139 mmHg or DBP 80-89 mmHg; 3) grade 1 hypertension (HTN), with SBP 140-159 mmHg or DBP 90-99 mmHg; and 4) grade 2 HTN, SBP ≥160 mmHg or DBP ≥100 mmHg. The date and cause of individual deaths were confirmed in the
