Effect of high normal body mass index and its trajectory on risk of new-onset hypertension among Chinese adults: a national prospective cohort study
The high normal BMI was significantly associated with an increased risk of new-onset hypertension among Chinese adults, whether increasing or fluctuating trajectory. Our findings suggest that maintaining a relatively low BMI level with stable trajectory within the normal range might be effective for the primary prevention of hypertension.
