AB - Background. Few studies have assessed the association between hypertension and risk of detailed causes of death. We investigatedthe association between hypertension and all-cause mortality and 67 causes of death in a large cohort. Methods. Multivariable Coxregression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for self-reported hypertensionvs. no hypertension and mortality. Adults aged ≥18 years (n = 213798) were recruited in 1997-2004 and followed throughDecember 31, 2006. Results. During 5.81 years of follow-up, 11254 deaths occurred. Self-reported hypertension vs. nohypertension was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1:25, 95% CI: 1.19-1.31) and mortality fromsepticemia (HR =1.66, 1.06-2.59), other infectious parasitic diseases (HR = 2:67, 1.09-6.51), diabetes mellitus (HR = 1:97, 1.45-2.67), circulatory disease (HR = 1:49, 1.37-1.61), hypertensive heart disease (HR = 3:23, 2.00-5.20), ischemic heart disease ðHR =1:35, 1.23-1.49), acute myocardial infarction (HR = 1:50, 1.27-1.77), other chronic ischemic heart diseases (HR = 1:35, 1.17-1.56), all other forms of heart disease (HR = 1:51, 1.21-1.89), primary hypertension and renal disease (HR = 3:11, 1.82-5.30),cerebrovascular disease (HR = 1:64, 1.37-1.97), other circulatory system diseases (HR = 1:71, 1.09-2.69), other chronic lowerrespiratory diseases (HR = 1:39, 1.12-1.73), other chronic liver disease (HR = 1:89, 1.06-3.37), renal failure (HR = 1:91, 1.33-2.74), motor vehicle accidents (HR = 1:60, 1.07-2.37), and all other diseases (HR =1.30, 1.10-1.54), but with lower risk of uterinecancer (HR = 0:37, 95% CI: 0.15-0.90) and Alzheimer’s disease (HR = 0:65, 95% CI: 0.47-0.92). Conclusion. Hypertension wasassociated with increased risk of all-cause mortality and 17 out of 67 causes of death, with most of these being circulatorydisease outcomes, however, some of the remaining associations are unlikely to be causal.
