- The study analyzed 1,069,948 participants from the DeSC database to evaluate modifiable risk factors for incident hypertension.
- Obesity had the highest population attributable fraction (PAF) at 6.36%, followed by sleep disorders (4.11%) and current smoking (3.39%).
- PAF for obesity decreased with age, being highest among individuals aged <40 years (15.10%) and lowest among those aged ≥65 years (3.70%).
- Men showed a higher PAF for obesity (7.93%) compared to women (5.02%).
- The total PAF for all modifiable risk factors was more significant in younger adults and men.
- The findings highlight obesity as the largest modifiable contributor to hypertension in the Japanese population.
