Abstract
The optimal blood pressure (BP) guidelines in Asian populations have not been determined. We compared all-cause and cardiovascular mortality based on the Joint National Committee 7 (JNC7) and 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines. The National Health Insurance System-National Health Screening Cohort (NHIS-HEALS) and Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were utilized. BPs were classified into three groups according to each guideline, and survival rates were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using multivariable cox regression analyses, and the discriminatory ability for clinical outcomes was assessed by Harrell's C-indexes. The JNC7 guidelines demonstrated a linear association between BP levels and survival outcomes. Adjusted HRs from the JNC7 guidelines differentiated the hypertension group (≥140/90) from the pre (130/80-139/89) and normal (<130 and <80) BP groups in clinical outcomes. In contrast, the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines showed inconsistent survival outcomes according to BP classification (normal: <120 and <80, elevated: 120-129, and <80, and HTN: ≥130/80). According to Harrell's C-indexes, the JNC7 guidelines had greater discrimination ability in survival outcomes in the NHIS-HEALS dataset. Our results suggest that the JNC7 guidelines are more appropriate than the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines in Korean populations.
