Relationships of arterial hypertension and reduced renal function in a population 25-45 years.

AIM: To study relationships of reduced renal function with hypertension and other cardiometabolic risk factors in persons aged 25-45 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional population study of one of the typical district of Novosibirsk (Russia) was performed during 2013-2016 years. The study included 468 men and 606 women aged 25-45 years. Blood pressure (BP), waist circumference (WC), blood lipids, glucose, creatinine were measured. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated with the formula CKD-EPI. Hypertension was registered if blood pressure (BP) was ≥140/90 mm Hg, reduced kidney function - at GFR<90 ml/min/1.73 cm2. RESULTS: Prevalence of hypertension among men was 28%, among women - 9%. The proportion of people with GFR<90 ml/min/1.73 cm2 among men was 9.8%, among women - 34%. Among all examined people GFRs <60 ml/min/1.73 cm2 was revealed in 0.3% only. The association of hypertension with reduced renal function was determined only in men. Based on results of multivariate linear regression analysis, a significant negative association of GFR with age was determined, there was no association of GFR with systolic BP (SBP) in either men or women. In men, inverse relationships of GFR with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-С), triglycerides (TG), direct - with WC were determined. Significant inverse association of GFR with diastolic BP (DBP) was revealed only after exception of TG from the regression model. In women, GFR's inverse relationship with LDL-С and DBP was observed, and the direct - with WC. In stepwise analysis the validity of all associations was confirmed after exception of the association of GFR with WC in men. CONCLUSION: In a population of 25-45 years a reduced GFR was associated with increased DBP; levels of LDL-С, TG showed negative association with GFR; in men increased TG levels were more important in reducing GFR than elevated DBP.

Blood Pressure Levels and Prevalence of Arterial Hypertension in the Population of Residents of the Central Region of Siberia Aged 25­45 Years.

PURPOSE: to study blood pressure levels and the prevalence of hypertension in persons aged 25-45 years in Novosibirsk. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional population study in one of typical areas of Novosibirsk was performed in 2013-2016. The study included 479 men and 612 women aged 25-45 years. Arterial hypertension was defined as blood pressure (BP) ≥140 / 90 mmHg according to Russian recommendations (2004). For analysis two age groups were distinguished: 25-34 years and 35-45 years. RESULTS: Mean values of systolic and diastolic BP were significantly lower in women than in men in age groups. In men and women, the analyzed indicators were significantly higher in the older than in the younger age group. Mean values of pulse pressure in men were significantly higher than in women in both age groups, there were no differences in the analyzed index between age groups in either men or women. Optimal BP was more often recorded among women than among men in both age groups. The proportion of persons with normal BP among men was grate than among women in both age groups. In the age group 35-45 years compared with the younger group, in men there was a decrease in incidence of category with BP<140 / 90 mmHg, an increase of the proportion of persons with hypertension grades 1 and 2, the appearance of persons with grade 3 hypertension; in women - an increase of the proportion of individuals with normal, high-normal BP, and with grade 1 hypertension, appearance of individuals with grades 2 and 3 hypertension. Frequency of BP categories ≥140 / 90 mmHg in age group 25-34 years among men was 17.6 %, among women 3.1 % (p<0.0001); in age group 35-45 years among men - 34.7 %, among women - 12.5 % (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of hypertension in men was 28 %, in women - 9 %. Favorable tendencies of BP indicators in both sexes were revealed over a 30-year period, while gender differences did not change.
