biostudies-literatureUnknownTakase M<h4>Background</h4>Although several studies have shown an inverse association between lung function and hypertension, few studies have examined the association between lung function and hypertension among never-smokers, and no study has investigated the association between lung function and home hypertension. We investigated the associations between lung function and hypertension in a Japanese population.<h4>Individuals and methods</h4>We conducted a cross-sectional study of 3728 men and 8795 women aged 20 years or older living in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Lung function was assessed using forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), measured by spirometry. Hypertension was defined as a casual blood pressure at least 140/90 mmHg and/or self-reported treatment for Journal of hypertensionhttps://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9894142biostudies-literatureAssociation between lung function and hypertension and home hypertension in a Japanese population: the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-Based Cohort Study.PMC9894142Takase MNakaya NNakaya KChiba IUruno AKodama ENTsuchiya NKogure MKobayashi TNochioka KHirata TYamada MKuriyama STsuji IFuse NSugawara JHatanaka RKanno INakamura THozawa AHamanaka YfalseAssociation between lung function and hypertension and home hypertension in a Japanese population: the Tohoku Medical Megabank Community-Based Cohort Study.<h4>Background</h4>Although several studies have shown an inverse association between lung function and hypertension, few studies have examined the association between lung function and hypertension among never-smokers, and no study has investigated the association between lung function and home hypertension.
