Presentation
The data on baseline characteristics of 84 subjects studied is presented in [ Table/Fig-2 ]. Continuous variables are presented as mean SD. Categorical values are presented as whole number and in percentage in parenthesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Falling
In most developing countries and in the urban areas of many countries, one in five to one in three adults fall in the category of prehypertension. [secardiologia.es]
Prognosis [ edit ] The extent to which prehypertension constitutes a serious health concern remains controversial. [10] Several long-term studies have suggested no significant increase in all-cause mortality over long periods of time for individuals falling [en.wikipedia.org]

Underweight
The students were classified as underweight, normal, overweight, and obese as per the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) Classification for BMI in Asian adults. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Disability
Exclusion criteria The subjects were excluded from the study if they had 1 Hypertension. 2 Cardiopulmonary disease and/or diabetes mellitus (DM). 3 Using cardioactive drugs. 4 Any physical disability which precluded tread mill testing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Withdrawn
[…] pharmacological agents can prevent hypertension has been looked at in one study. 12 The use of an angiotensin receptor blocker, candesartan did reduce the risk of developing hypertension compared to placebo but this reduction was very minimal once the drug was withdrawn [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Kidney Failure
The threshold is lower in patients with diabetes, chronic kidney failure, or cardiovascular disease. [8] The target blood pressure for these conditions is currently less than 120/80 mm Hg. [en.wikipedia.org]
Neurologic

Neglect
Therefore it could be speculated that systolic prehypertensive heart works more than normal heart and if neglected may eventually lead to heart failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Dizziness
Only extremely elevated blood pressure ( malignant hypertension ) can, in rare cases, cause headaches, visual changes, fatigue, or dizziness, but these are nonspecific symptoms which can occur with many other conditions. [en.wikipedia.org]
Treatment
As such, currently pharmacological treatment is not the answer nor is it feasible. Besides the lack of evidence, the cost of treatment, the biochemical changes and potential adverse events may outweigh the benefits of treatment of prehypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The Conference will aim to deal with all aspects related to early diagnosis, including innovative technologies and treatments as well as discussion of target organ damage, cardiac, renal, neurological and peripheral arteries. [secardiologia.es]
Prognosis
The presence of multiple risk factors changes the prognosis of the patients and should affect our therapeutic approach- an area with insufficient information and guidelines. [secardiologia.es]
Prognosis [ edit ] The extent to which prehypertension constitutes a serious health concern remains controversial. [10] Several long-term studies have suggested no significant increase in all-cause mortality over long periods of time for individuals falling [en.wikipedia.org]

1.7 times more likely to have heart disease than a person with normal blood pressure. [17] A meta-analysis concluded that prehypertension increases the risk of stroke, and that even low-range prehypertension significantly increases stroke risk. [18] Epidemiology [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention

Understanding the risk of borderline conditions in the metabolic syndrome will enable us to understand the nature of end organ damage and will create a possibility of better prevention of this continuous process. [secardiologia.es]
