What is The Association of Stage 1 Hypertension Defined by the 2017 ACC/AHA Guideline with Stroke and Its Subtypes among Elderly Chinese about?
## Background The 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association hypertension guideline updated stage 1 hypertension definition as systolic blood pressure range from 130 to 139 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure from 80 to 89 mmHg. However, the association of stage 1 hypertension with stroke and its subtypes among the older population in rural China remains unclear. ## Methods This population-based cohort study consisted of 7,503 adults aged ≥60 years with complete data and no cardiovascular disease at baseline from rural areas of Fuxin County, Liaoning province, China. Follow-up for the new cases of stroke was conducted from the end of the baseline survey to the end of the third follow-up survey (January 1, 2007–December 31, 2017). Adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals with the normal blood pressure as a reference, and calculated population attributable risk was based on prevalence and hazard ratios. ## Results During a median follow-up of 12.5 years, we observed 1,159 first-ever incident stroke (774 ischemic, 360 hemorrhagic, and 25 uncategorized). With the blood pressure <120/<80 mmHg as a refe
