Liver-related indices mediate incident hypertension in humans (34.95% of the observed association).
“AI and LI accounted for part of the observed PA–HTN association, with a stronger contribution from AI than LI (53.64% vs. 34.95%).”

Liver-related indices
upin humans1RR 1.21
Liver-related indices are associated with incident hypertension in humans (RR 1.21, 95% CI 1.19–1.23).
“LI (RR = 1.21, 95% CI:1.19–1.23) were associated with a higher risk of HTN.”

Anthropometric indices are associated with incident hypertension in humans (RR 1.92, 95% CI 1.81–1.99).
“higher AI (RR = 1.92, 95% CI:1.81–1.99) and LI (RR = 1.21, 95% CI:1.19–1.23) were associated with a higher risk of HTN.”

Physical activity
downin humans1RR 0.94
Physical activity is associated with incident hypertension in humans (6% lower risk per one-unit increase in MET; RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.91–0.96).
“each one-unit increase in MET was linked to a 6% lower HTN risk (RR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.91–0.96).”

Hobby engagement was associated with lower hypertension risk in Chinese (HR = 0.84) and American (HR = 0.86) cohorts aged 50 and older.Hobby engagement was associated with lower hypertension risk in Chinese (HR = 0.84) and American (HR = 0.86) cohorts aged 50 and older.
In non-diabetic older adults, an increasing body roundness trajectory had an odds ratio of 1.76 for incident hypertension compared with a low-level pattern.In non-diabetic older adults, an increasing body roundness trajectory had an odds ratio of 1.76 for incident hypertension compared with a low-level pattern.
