An atlas on multitudinous risk factors associated with incident hypertension: comprehensive exposome-wide association and wide-angled genetic analyses
To construct an atlas of known and emerging factors for hypertension through comprehensive epidemiological and genetic analyses.
Key Findings:
964 significant exposome variables were replicated.
462 variables showed convincing evidence in meta-analyses.
1923 exposures had global genetic correlations with hypertension.
125 phenotypes showed robust causal relationships with hypertension.
146 associations were supported by both epidemiological and genetic evidence.
Interpretation:
The study provides a comprehensive atlas of risk factors for hypertension, highlighting both established and novel exposures, and emphasizes the importance of modifiable lifestyle factors in hypertension prevention.
Limitations:
Potential biases in observational studies.
Challenges in comparing findings due to variations in analytical decisions.
Conclusion:
This study serves as a critical guide for hypertension prevention, offering insights into modifiable risk factors and their implications for clinical practice.
