Association between systolic blood pressure trajectories and successful aging in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals: a longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to prospectively assess the relationship between systolic blood pressure (SBP) trajectories and successful aging in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals.

Methods

A total of 1,960 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included. SBP measurements from 2011, 2013, and 2015 were used to identify trajectory patterns via a latent category trajectory model (LCTM). Successful aging was assessed in 2020 and defined as the absence of major chronic diseases, preserved physical function, high cognitive performance, favorable mental health, and active social engagement. Logistic regression was applied to evaluate associations between SBP trajectories and successful aging.

Results

Three SBP trajectories
