Association between the stress hyperglycemia ratio and elevated blood pressure among U.S. adolescents aged 12-17.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) has been reported to be closely associated with various diseases and prognoses. However, the relationship between SHR and elevated blood pressure (EBP) in adolescents aged 12-17 remains unclear.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included U.S. adolescents from the 1999-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The primary outcome was EBP. SHR was calculated by the formula [FPG (mmol/L)] / [1.59 × HbA1c (%) - 2.59]. Patients were divided into SHR quartiles. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models, subgroup analysis, restricted cubic spline (RCS) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, sensitivity analyses were used to evaluate the associations.
