Uric acid levels predict future blood pressure and new onset hypertension in the general Japanese population

We tested the hypothesis that uric acid levels predict new-onset hypertension in the Japanese general population. Normotensive individuals who visited our hospital for a yearly health checkup (n=8157, men=61.0% and age=50.7±12.2 years) were enrolled in the present study. After baseline evaluation, participants were followed up for a median of 48.3 months (range 4.9–101.0 months), with the endpoint being the development of hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) greater than or equal to140?mm?Hg, diastolic BP greater than or equal to90?mm?Hg or the use of antihypertensive medication.
