Abstract EN
Background.
Studies assessing the association between psychological factors and hypertension have been equivocal, which may reflect limitations in the assessment of psychological factors.
Purpose.
To assess the relationship between mood and anxiety disorders, measured using a psychiatric interview, and 1-year incident hypertension.
Methods.
197 nonhypertensive individuals undergoing exercise stress testing at baseline provided follow-up data at 1 year.
Baseline assessments included a structure psychiatric interview (PRIME-MD), physician diagnosis of hypertension, and measured blood pressure.
At follow-up, hypertension status was assessed via self-reported physician diagnosis.
Results.
Having an anxiety disorder was associated with a 4-fold increase in the risk of developing hypertension (adjusted OR = 4.14, 95% CIs = 1.18–14.56).
In contrast, having a mood disorder was not associated with incident hypertension (adjusted OR = 1.21, 95% CIs = 0.24–5.86).
Conclusions.
There are potential mechanisms which could explain our differential mood and anxiety findings.
The impact of screening and treatment of anxiety disorders on hypertension needs to be explored.
