| Popis: | Summary In order to examine sex-specific differences in the association of body mass index (BMI) and hypertension, we conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study of 717 812 (402 914 men and 314 898 women) Israeli Jewish adolescents aged 16.0–19.99 years medically screened for military service. A diagnosis of hypertension was established per history or if a mean of 10 separate blood pressure measurements exceeded 140/90, following an initial measurement higher than 140/90. Weight and height were measured. Prevalence of hypertension was 0.42% in men and 0.05% in women. In men, BMI was significantly associated with hypertension from the third decile (odds ratio [OR] 1.67, 1.06–2.65) up to the 10th decile (OR 30.17, 20.83–43.69). In women, we observed a significantly increased risk for hypertension in the ninth decile (OR 3.82, 1.42–10.22) and in the 10th decile (OR 18.92, 7.7–46.51), with no visible trend in lower deciles. BMI effects on hypertension prevalence are different in male and female adolescents. |
