Blood pressure, gallstones, and age at first cholecystectomy in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional study
The study found a correlation between BP and the prevalence of gallstones in individuals aged 42 years and older and a positive association between SBP and the age at first cholecystectomy. While causality cannot be confirmed, these findings may assist in identifying early risk groups for GD and early cholecystectomy, thereby enhancing risk stratification and potentially reducing screening costs.
