Methods: This study was a retrospective observational cross-sectional analysis using the JMDC Claims Database. We analyzed 280,599 subjects not taking any antihypertensive medications. According to the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline, each subject was categorized as having normal BP (n=159,524), elevated BP (n=35,603), stage 1 hypertension (n=54,795), or stage 2 hypertension (n=30,677) using the BP value at the initial health check-up. Retinal photographs were assessed according to the Keith-Wagener-Barker system.
Results: The median age was 46 years, and 50.4% subjects were men. Retinal atherosclerosis, defined as Keith-Wagener-Barker system grade ?1, was observed in 3.2% in normal BP, 5.2% in elevated BP, 7.7% in stage 1 hypertension, and 18.7% in stage 2 hypertension. Compared with normal BP, elevated BP (OR;1.30, 95% CI;1.23-1.38), stage 1 hypertension (OR;1.71, 95% CI;1.64-1.79), and stage 2 hypertension (OR;4.10, 95% CI;3.93-4.28) were associated with a higher prevalence of retinal atherosclerosis. Among 92,121 subjects without obesity, high waist circumference, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption, elevated BP (OR;1.34, 95% CI;1.19-1.51), stage 1 hypertension (OR;1.79, 95% CI;1.61-1.98), and stage 2 hypertension (OR;4.42, 95% CI;4.00-4.92) were associated with a higher prevalence of retinal atherosclerosis. This association was observed in all subgroups stratified by age or sex.
Conclusions: Our investigation suggests that retinal atherosclerosis could start even in individuals with elevated BP and stage 1 hypertension.抄録：英語フィールド
