Abstract

Background: PREHYPERTENSION frequently progresses into hypertension and is related to an increased risk of cardio-vascular disease. We studied the prevalence of PREHYPERTENSION and their determinants by GENDER and AGE.Methods: The study used nationally representative data from 11, 754 participants AGEd 20–91 years collected between 2010–2012 KOREA National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES).Results: PREHYPERTENSION was more prevalent in men than women (aOR=2.48, CI=2.11–2.92). Aging was positive-ly associated with PREHYPERTENSION (40-59 vs.20-39, aOR=1.79, CI=1.55–2.05; 60+vs.20-39, aOR=2.89, CI=2.35–3.56). In women AGEd ≥60, PREHYPERTENSION was associated with WC (aOR=1.04, CI=1.00–1.07), whereas in both men and women AGEd 20–39, it was associated with BMI (men, aOR=1.14, CI=1.04–1.24; women, aOR=1.08, CI=1.01–1.16). In subjects AGEd 40–59, AGE (men, aOR=1.03, CI=1.01–1.06; women, aOR=1.05, CI=1.02–1.07) was the significant factor increasing the risk of PREHYPERTENSION, whereas smoking (men, aOR=0.55, CI=0.38–0.80; women, aOR=0.43, CI=0.24–0.76) showed an inverse association with PREHYPERTENSION. Alcohol intake showed a positive association with PREHYPERTENSION in only men AGEd 40-59.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that different GENDER/age groups may have different patterns of RISK FACTORs associ-ated with PREHYPERTENSION. Thus, healthcare providers should consider both GENDER and AGE when designing communi-ty-based interventions for controlling BP and reducing PREHYPERTENSION.
