Comparison of the cumulative exposure to four measures of blood pressure for predicting cardiovascular disease risk in the Chinese Uyghurs.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to explore and compare the role of cumulative exposure to four blood pressure (BP) markers [systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and pulse pressure (PP)] in predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the Uyghur population.

Methods

We recruited 3,553 Uyghurs from Tumxuk City, and conducted blood pressure measurements on them at least three times, with a minimum interval of two years between consecutive measurements. Cumulative BP was defined as the sum of the product of the average BP between consecutive examinations and the time interval between visits. Cox proportional hazard models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were used to estimate the association between cumBP and CVD ris
