Identify Sensitive Periods for Onset and Resolution of Hypertension and Its Subtypes Over the Lifespan.

ABSTRACT: Hypertension represents a significant public health issue globally, yet the age-related changes in prevalence and transition patterns of blood pressure (BP) categories and hypertension subtypes throughout the lifespan remain unclear. This dynamic cohort study included 22 858 participants aged 3-80 years from the China Health and Nutrition Survey 1989-2015. Participants were categorized into eight sub-cohorts based on baseline age in 10-year intervals, i.e., 3-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, and 71-80 years. The study found that for participants with normal BP, the probabilities of developing hypertension over a 10-year follow-up period increased with age during adulthood, with the probabilities of developing systolic hypertension surpassing those of diastolic hypertension beg
