Association of high-normal blood pressure defined by the 2023 European Society of Hypertension guideline with mortality in the Chinese population: a nationwide, population-based, prospective study of 3.6 million adults
Individuals with high-normal BP at baseline exhibited a significantly elevated mortality risk and especially for risk of hemorrhagic stroke mortality during the follow-up. This positive association may be mainly attributed to the "high-normal-increasing" BP change over time.
