Hypertension Criteria and the Early Detection of Vascular Aging in Youth.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hypertension is a leading risk factor of global morbidity and mortality. Reports indicate a rise in mortality linked to blood pressure (BP) levels exceeding 115/75 mmHg. Even with hypertension management based on redefined guidelines, many young individuals with early signs of target organ injury (TOI) may still go undetected AIM : We determined the most accurate diagnostic criteria of hypertension (using the 2017 ACC/AHA and the 2023 ESC/ESH guidelines) for detecting an increased risk of early vascular aging (EVA). We additionally estimated the effects of the guidelines' definitions on the distribution of BP phenotypes and risk of EVA.

Methods

A total of 1026 men and women (aged 20-30 years) were included. The primary data collected included office- and ambulat
