ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study aims to explore the association between a healthy lifestyle and abnormal ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in Chinese youths.METHODS:
A school-based sample of 1,296 college students was investigated. A lifestyle score was calculated by synthesizing 5 lifestyle factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, physical activity, and sleeping. The total score ranged from 0 to 5, with a higher score indicating a healthier lifestyle. This score was then divided into 3 categories representing low adherence to a healthy lifestyle (0-2), medium adherence (3), and high adherence (4-5). Abnormal 24-hour blood pressure (BP) was defined as systolic BP (SBP)â ≥â 130 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP (DBP)â ≥â 80 mm Hg. Abnormal daytime BP was determined as daytime SBPâ ≥â 135 mm Hg and/or DBPâ ≥â 85 mm Hg, while abnormal nighttime BP was characterized as nighttime SBPâ ≥â 120 mm Hg and/or DBPâ ≥â 70 mm Hg. We assessed the associations using the binomial regression model.RESULTS:
Mean age was 18.81 years, and 74.5% were women. The prevalence of abnormal 24-hour BP, daytime BP, and nighttime BP are 4.2%, 3.7%, and 9.0%, respectively. We found that participants with a high level of adherence to a healthy lifestyle had a significantly lower prevalence of abnormal 24-hour BP [prevalence ratios (PR)â =â 0.15, 95% CI 0.05, 0.48] and abnormal daytime BP (PRâ =â 0.16, 95%CI 0.05, 0.52), when compared to those with a low level of adherence and after adjusting for the potential covariates.CONCLUSIONS:
A healthier lifestyle is associated with a better ambulatory BP profile among youths.Palavras-chave
