Abstract

Extra information

It remains unclear which blood pressure (BP) characteristics best predict cardiovascular risk in different age groups and between sexes. We leveraged data from the MORGAM (MONICA [Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease], Risk, Genetics, Archiving and Monograph) Project to investigate determinants of BP characteristics and their prognostic importance, in younger and older (P interaction <0.001). Higher systolic BP and mean BP were significantly associated with cardiovascular end point, irrespective of age group (P<0.001), but diastolic BP only demonstrated an independent relationship in the younger group (P<0.001). Brachial pulse pressure was associated with cardiovascular end point in the older age group (P<0.001). In subjects <50 years, diastolic BP significantly improved area under the receiver operating characteristic curve compared with Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation variables (including systolic BP) alone (0.842 versus 0.840, P=0.03), enhanced continuous net reclassification improvement (0.150 [95% CI, 0.087-0.215]) and improved the prognostic value of the European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension hypertension definition (categorical net reclassification improvement=0.0255, P=0.005). In conclusion, diastolic BP may provide additional prognostic utility beyond systolic BP, in predicting composite cardiovascular events among younger individuals.
