Fatty liver index predicts the development of hypertension in a Japanese general population with and without dysglycemia

Associations of metabolic disorders with hypertension and cardiovascular disease: recent findings and therapeutic perspectives

We theoretically know that metabolic disorders, including overweight/obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and relevant tissue/organ damage, play a critical role in elevating blood pressure and developing hypertension. However, staying abreast of the ever-evolving and current research on the various metabolic disorder topics is difficult. At the same time, as hypertension in childhood and adolescence is attracting significant attention globally, it is becoming increasingly evident that metabolic disorders exert an important role in its pathogenesis. In order to effectively prevent hypertension, it is essential to appropriately approach metabolic disorders, and importantly, this approach must be practiced continuously throughout all generations. Thus, focusing on metabolic disorders is the first and essential step in effectively managing and preventing hypertension. In this Mini-Review, we introduce cutting-edge research findings on "Metabolism," published in 2023 by Hypertension Research, and discuss relevant topics and therapeutic and future perspectives.
