The association between bilirubin and hypertension among a Chinese ageing cohort: a prospective follow-up study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is highly prevalent and associated with the elevated risks of cardiovascular diseases, dementia, and physical disabilities among adults. Although the correlation between bilirubin and hypertension has been reported, the observation in quinquagenarian population is scarce. We aimed to examine bilirubin-hypertension association in Guankou Ageing Cohort Study.

Methods

Participants ≥ 55 years were recruited and their questionnaires and physical examination data were collected. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were implemented to assess the hypertension risk. The non-liner dose-response relationships of bilirubin-hypertension were determined by restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Receiver operating characteristic (RO
