Hypertension risk increases with Coxsackie virus infection and a higher number of aggregate pathogens in Chinese Mongolians. This study highlights the impact of infectious agents on hypertension development.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious disease epidemiology
  • Cardiovascular health
  • Microbiome and disease

Background:

  • Limited research exists on the link between multiple pathogens and hypertension (HT).
  • Previous studies suggest associations between individual pathogens and HT.
  • This study investigates individual and aggregate pathogen risks for HT in Chinese Mongolians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if individual pathogens (Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, Coxsackie virus) are associated with hypertension.
  • To assess the relationship between the cumulative burden of these pathogens and hypertension risk.
  • To explore these associations in a Chinese Mongolian population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study of 1030 Chinese Mongolians aged 30+.

  • Hypertension status determined for 488 hypertensive and 942 normotensive individuals.
  • Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) used to detect IgG antibodies for four specific pathogens.

    • Main Results:

    • Coxsackie virus seroprevalence was significantly associated with HT (OR 3.7).
    • No significant association found for Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, or Helicobacter pylori.
    • Hypertension risk increased with the number of pathogens, with ORs ranging from 1.629 to 5.146 for 1-4 pathogens.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypertension risk is linked to Coxsackie virus infection.
    • An increased aggregate pathogen load is associated with higher hypertension risk.
    • Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms of these associations.
