To evaluate the incidence of HT and its relationship with other cardio metabolic risk factors changes and lifestyle components, Healthy Heart Project follow up data for 8 years were analyzed. Methods: A total of 283 unique normotensive participants of Yazd Healthy Heart Project (1169 observations) attended blood pressure longitudinal study. Multi-level model and Generalized estimation equation (GEE) model with an unstructured correlation matrix were used to analyze the longitudinal data by Stata/MP 11.2. Results: The incidence rates of HT and prehypertension were 39.5 and 77.93 in each 1000 person-year followup, respectively. In addition, systolic blood pressure was significantly predicted by diastolic blood pressure (B=1.09, 95%.. Read More»
