Abstract

Objective: Hypertension (HTN) is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, contributing significantly to the global burden of morbidity and mortality. Among the different types of hypertension, isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) are distinguished, both with particular clinical implications. The aim of this study is to assess how certain sociodemographic variables and healthy habits influence the prevalence of ISH and IDH.

Material and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study of 193,462 Spanish workers, evaluating the influence of age, gender, social class, educational level, tobacco consumption, physical exercise, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet on the prevalence of ISH and IDH.

Results: The prevalence of ISH increases with age, in men, in individuals of lower social and educational levels, and in those who are sedentary. The prevalence of IDH is higher in men, individuals with lower socioeconomic status, those who are sedentary, and those with low adherence to the Mediterranean diet (p<0.05 for each comparison).

Conclusion: Both ISH and IDH are influenced by male gender, sedentary lifestyle, and low socioeconomic status. Advanced age is a factor in ISH, while low adherence to the Mediterranean diet influences IDH.
