Decision Tree-Based classification for maintaining normal blood pressure throughout middle age: findings from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study

CONCLUSIONS: This study emphasizes the importance of early life factors to later life systolic BP and support efforts to maintain ideal levels of risk factors for hypertension at young ages. Whether policies to maintain lower BMI and SBP well below the clinical thresholds throughout young adulthood and middle-age can reduce later age hypertension should be examined in future studies.PMID:34175929 | DOI:10.1093/ajh/hpab099
