Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the associations of age when first substance use and early-onset substance use before age 18 with age at onset (AAO) of hypertension. METHODS This study included 19,270 individuals with AAO of hypertension from the 2015-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Age when first use of 10 substance use variables included alcohol, daily cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, hallucinogens, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), inhalants, and methamphetamine use. The outcome was AAO of hypertension and variable cluster analysis was used to classify the exposures and outcome. Substance use status was classified into three categories: early-onset substance use (first used substance before age 18), late-onset substance use (first used substance after age 18), and never used. RESULTS The mean AAO of hypertension was 42.7 years. Age when first use of 10 substance use variables had significant correlations with AAO of hypertension (all p values < 0.001). Individuals with early-onset alcohol, cigars, smokeless tobacco, marijuana, hallucinogens, inhalants, cocaine, LSD, and methamphetamine use revealed significantly earlier onset of hypertension than those never used. Compared with never used substances, the Cox regression model showed that early-onset alcohol, smokeless tobacco, marijuana, inhalants, and methamphetamine use had an increased risk of AAO of hypertension [hazard ratio (HR) (95%CI) = 1.22 (1.13, 1.31), 1.36 (1.24, 1.49), 1.85 (1.75, 1.95), 1.41 (1.30, 1.52), and 1.27 (1.07,1.50), respectively]. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that intervention strategies or programs focusing on preventing early-onset substance use before age 18 may delay the onset of adult hypertension.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the association between age of hypertension onset and cognitive function in a representative sample of US older adults. METHODS We assessed 2334 elderly adults (including 1655 hypertensive patients) who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014. We used the age when the participants were first informed by the doctor that they had hypertension or were first clinically diagnosed with hypertension as the age of onset of hypertension. The Digit Symbol Substitution test (DSST), the Animal Fluency test, the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's disease (CERAD), and a composite-z score calculated by summing z-scores from these three individual tests, were used to assess cognitive function. RESULTS Participants with hypertension onset age < 35 years (early onset hypertension) had the worst performance in almost all cognitive tests, followed by those with onset age ≥ 65 years. Compared with those without hypertension, early onset hypertension was associated with - 4.15 (95% CI - 6.63, - 1.68), - 1.10 (95% CI - 2.08, - 0.12), - 0.75 (95% CI - 1.91, 0.42), and - 0.56 (95% CI - 0.94, - 0.19) scores for DSST, animal fluency test, CERAD, and composite z-score. Participants with early onset hypertension (onset age < 35 years) had higher odds for cognitive decline defined by DSST (OR: 3.28, 95% CI 1.94, 5.54) and composite z-score (OR: 1.77, 95% CI 1.07, 2.92). CONCLUSIONS Early onset hypertension was associated with the worst performance in cognitive function and an increased odds of cognitive decline in the elderly.

Abstract
Growth mindsets and self-efficacy beliefs have been known to predict and promote resilience, challenge seeking, and improved outcomes in areas such as education and intelligence. However, little is known about the role of these two potentially influential beliefs in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2D), specifically in terms of whether and in which domains (i.e., beliefs toward general life, general health, or condition-specific domains) these beliefs-or lack thereof-is prevalent among individuals with T2D. Given the lifelong challenges that individuals with diabetes often encounter with managing their disease, many may slip into a conceding negative belief that their diabetes is "too difficult to control" or simply "out of their hands," inhibiting proactive self-management efforts. Results from our study (n = 893) revealed that individuals with T2D had a significantly lower growth mindset towards their blood glucose level and lower self-efficacy towards their general health, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels compared to those without T2D. Among participants with T2D, further analyses showed a pattern of higher HbA1c among those with lower growth mindsets and self-efficacy toward their general health or blood glucose level. These findings identify the belief-domains that may pose barriers to necessary self-care behaviors, informing future interventions to promote improved diabetes care and management.

Age-specific association of stage of hypertension at diagnosis with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among elderly patients with hypertension: a cohort study. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:270. [PMID: 37221473 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03250-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension affects 31.1% of adults worldwide, with higher prevalence of great than 60% in elderly. Advanced hypertension stage was associated with the higher risk of mortality. However, little is known about the age-specific association of stage of hypertension at diagnosis on cardiovascular mortality or all-cause mortality. Therefore, we aim to explore this age-specific association among the hypertensive elderly through stratified and interaction analyses. METHODS This cohort study included 125,978 elderly hypertensive patients aged 60+ years from Shanghai of China. Cox regression was used to estimate the independent and joint effect of hypertension stage and age at diagnosis on cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Interactions were evaluated both additively and multiplicatively. Multiplicative interaction was examined by the Wald test of the interaction term. Additive interaction was assessed by relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). All analyses were performed stratified by sex. RESULTS 28,250 patients died during the follow-up up to 8.85 years, and 13,164 died of cardiovascular events. Older age and advanced hypertension stage were risk factors of cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. Besides, smoking, rarely exercise, BMI < 18.5 and diabetes were also the risk factors. When we compared stage 3 hypertension with stage 1 hypertension, hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality were 1.56(1.41-1.72) and 1.29(1.21-1.37) for males aged 60-69 years, 1.25(1.14-1.36) and 1.13(1.06-1.20) for males aged 70-85 years, 1.48(1.32-1.67) and 1.29(1.19-1.40) for females aged 60-69 years, and 1.19(1.10-1.29) and 1.08(1.01-1.15) for females aged 70-85 years, respectively. Negative multiplicative interaction and positive additive interaction between age at diagnosis and stage of hypertension at diagnosis on cardiovascular mortality were observed in males (HR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.71-0.93 RERI: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.09-1.07) and females (HR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.70-0.93 RERI: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.10-1.23). CONCLUSIONS Diagnosed with stage 3 hypertension was associated with higher risks of cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality, which were stronger among patients with age at diagnosis of 60-69 years compared with those with age at diagnosis of 70-85 years. Therefore, for the younger part of the elderly, the Department of Health should pay more attention to treating patients with stage 3 hypertension.

Black-white Differences in Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Rates Among Young Adults with Ischemic Stroke. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2022; 31:106628.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies have addressed Black-White differences in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in young stroke patients without a history of hypertension. METHODS A case-only cross-sectional analysis performed in 2019 of data from the Stroke Prevention in Young Adults Study, a population-based case-control study of ischemic stroke patients ages 15-49. The main outcomes were hypertension indicators at the time of stroke hospitalization: self-reported history of hypertension, LVH by echocardiography (Echo-LVH) and LVH by electrocardiogram (ECG-LVH). The prevalence of Echo-LVH was further determined in those with and without a history of hypertension. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals comparing blacks and whites were calculated by logistic regression. RESULTS The study population included 1028 early-onset ischemic stroke patients, 48% Black cases, 54% men, median age 43 years (interquartile range, 38-46 years). Overall, the prevalence of hypertension history, Echo-LVH and ECG-LVH were 41.3%, 34.1% and 17.5%, respectively. Each of the hypertension indicators were more frequent in men than in women and in Black cases than in White cases. Black patients without a history of hypertension had higher rates of Echo-LVH than their white counterparts, 40.3% vs 27.7% (age and obesity adjusted OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.02-3.4) among men and 20.9% vs 7.6% (adjusted OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.2-6.2) among women. CONCLUSIONS LVH was common in young patients with ischemic stroke, regardless of self-reported history of hypertension. These findings emphasize the need for earlier screening and more effective treatment of hypertension in young adults, particularly in the Black population.

Association between Age of Onset of Hypertension and Incident Atrial Fibrillation. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12071186.

Abstract
We investigated whether age at hypertension (HTN) onset was associated with the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population. This prospective longitudinal community-based cohort study included 9892 participants without AF at baseline, who underwent biennial electrocardiography for a median duration of 11.5 years. The participants were divided into five groups, consisting of a normotensive group (Group-N) and four HTN groups based on HTN onset age: <45 years (Group-H1); 45−54 years (Group-H2); 55−64 years (Group-H3); and ≥65 years (Group-H4). A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model showed that the presence of HTN at baseline was associated with higher AF risk (hazard ratio [HR], 1.93; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32−2.80). The participants in Group-H1 had the highest risk of AF (HR 3.18; CI 1.74−5.82), and the risk of AF decreased as HTN onset age increased across the four HTN groups (p for trend = 0.014). The AF onset age was significantly younger in participants in Group-H1 than in Groups-H2−H4. Early-onset HTN was associated with an increased risk of AF, and younger onset of AF in the general population. Surveillance for AF should be considered at a younger age in individuals with HTN.

Abstract
Hypertension is related to increased risk of cognitive decline in a highly age-dependent manner. However, conflicting evidence exists on the relation between age of hypertension onset and cognition. Our goal was to investigate the association between early- versus late-onset hypertension and midlife cognitive performance in 2946 CARDIA study (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) participants (mean age 55±4, 57% women). The participants underwent 9 repeat examinations, including blood pressure measurements, between 1985 to 1986 and 2015 to 2016. The participants underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging and completed Digit Symbol Substitution Test, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Stroop interference test, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to evaluate cognitive function at the year 30 exam. We assessed the relation between age of hypertension onset and cognitive function using linear regression models adjusted for cognitive decline risk factors, including systolic blood pressure. We observed that individuals with early-onset hypertension (onset at <35 years) had 0.24±0.09, 0.22±0.10, 0.27±0.09, and 0.19±0.07 lower standardized Z-scores in Digit Symbol Substitution Test, Stroop test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and a composite cognitive score than participants without hypertension (P<0.05 for all). In contrast, hypertension onset at ≥35 years was not associated with cognitive function (P >0.05 for all). In a subgroup of 559 participants, neither early- nor late-onset hypertension was related to macrostructural brain alterations (P >0.05 for all). Our results indicate that early-onset hypertension is a potent risk factor for midlife cognitive impairment. Thus, age of hypertension onset assessment in clinical practice could improve risk stratification of cognitive decline in patients with hypertension.

Abstract
Objectively defined early-onset hypertension, based on repeated blood pressure measurements, is associated with greater odds of organ damage and cardiovascular mortality than late-onset hypertension. In this study we examined the association between two factors that are easily available in primary care, self-reported hypertension onset age and electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH), in a nationwide population sample of 2864 Finns aged ≥50 years. We observed that, in contrast to prior findings, the odds of ECG-LVH were similar between self-reported hypertension onset age groups, and thus self-reported early-onset hypertension does not seem to associate with ECG-LVH more strongly than simple presence of hypertension.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the current evidence on research related to age of hypertension onset-its definition, correlates, heritability, and association with adverse outcomes. We also propose a framework for implementing assessment of hypertension onset age into clinical practice. RECENT FINDINGS Prior studies have used both objective measurements and self-report to determine age of hypertension onset or early-onset hypertension. Yet, no criterion for standard definition currently exists for either. Data from epidemiological and clinical studies demonstrate that early-onset hypertension is a highly heritable trait that confers an increased risk for cardiovascular death and end-organ damage compared with late-onset hypertension. Literature to date suggests that (parental) age of hypertension onset can be feasibly assessed for estimating (1) risk of future hypertension in non-hypertensive persons; and (2) the propensity for cardiovascular disease in individuals with established hypertension.
