Association between homocysteine levels and hypertension prevalence as well as all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality among hypertensive patients: A population-based study

Our research validates Hcy as an independent risk factor for hypertension, further confirming a nonlinear positive correlation between blood pressure and Hcy levels. HHcy was associated with small increases SBP and DBP proportional to the degree of homocysteine elevation. Additionally, HHcy was a high-risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients. This may provide new insights into the management and treatment of hypertension.
