What Is Already Known About This Topic?:
As an indicator of aortic stiffening, elevated pulse pressure (PP) has been established as a marker of poor clinical outcomes.
What Is Added By This Report?:
Compared with the lowest quartile of PP (<40 mmHg), mortality risk increased by 9.8%-23.9% among individuals with PP in the second to fourth quartiles. This association was particularly pronounced in females, adults aged 60-74 years, and overweight or obese individuals.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?:
Our findings emphasize the need to develop comprehensive PP early screening and effective management strategies to reduce mortality, especially among identified high-risk groups.
