Diabetes modifies the association of prehypertension with cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality.

ABSTRACT: Prehypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. However, it is unclear whether prehypertension combined with diabetes associate with a higher risk for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between prehypertension and the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality was different among individuals with or without diabetes. In the prospective community-based Kailuan study, 67 344 participants without hypertension or a history of CVD at baseline (2006) were included. Prehypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure of 120-139 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of 80-89 mmHg. The outcomes were CVD and all-cause mortality were followed up through December 31, 2017. We performed Cox proporti
