Abstract
Body roundness index (BRI) was associated with cardiovascular diseases. But the relationship between BRI with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and all-cause mortality remains largely unknown in hypertensive patients. This prospective cohort study included patients with hypertension who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001 through 2018, and aimed to evaluate the association between BRI with CVD mortality and all-cause mortality. A total of 15570 patients were included. Over a median follow-up of 8.0 years (interquartile range, 4.3–12.6 years), 3445 individuals died, including 1166 CVD deaths. Weighted restricted cubic spline regression results showed a nonlinear association between BRI and CVD mortality and all-cause mortality (both P for nonlinear trend <0.001). The weighted multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression showed the hazard ratio (HRs) for CVD mortality were 0.93 (95% CI: 0.84–1.03, P = 0.160) in the low levels of BRI (≤5.9) and 1.11 (95% CI: 1.05–1.19, P < 0.001) in the high levels of BRI (>5.9). Similar associations were observed for all-cause mortality, the HRs were 0.91 (95% CI: 0.87–0.96, P < 0.001) in the low levels of BRI (≤6.3) and 1.09 (95% CI: 1.05–1.13, P < 0.001) in the high levels of BRI (>6.3). This cohort study supported that BRI was nonlinearly associated with CVD mortality and all-cause mortality among patients with hypertension. The thresholds of 5.9 and 6.3 for CVD mortality and all-cause mortality, respectively, may represent intervention targets for lowering the risk of premature death, but this needs to be confirmed in large clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Human Hypertension is published monthly and is of interest to health care professionals who deal with hypertension (specialists, internists, primary care physicians) and public health workers. We believe that our patients benefit from robust scientific data that are based on well conducted clinical trials. We also believe that basic sciences are the foundations on which we build our knowledge of clinical conditions and their management. Towards this end, although we are primarily a clinical based journal, we also welcome suitable basic sciences studies that promote our understanding of human hypertension.
The journal aims to perform the dual role of increasing knowledge in the field of high blood pressure as well as improving the standard of care of patients. The editors will consider for publication all suitable papers dealing directly or indirectly with clinical aspects of hypertension, including but not limited to epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutics and basic sciences involving human subjects or tissues. We also consider papers from all specialties such as ophthalmology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and stroke medicine that deal with the various aspects of hypertension and its complications.
