Continuous Positive Linear Association between the Monocyte to High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio and Hypertension: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background. Hypertension poses a major threat to human health, and inflammation is associated with hypertension. The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) represents a new inflammatory indicator. However, the relationship between the MHR and hypertension remains unclear. The p...

description Background. Hypertension poses a major threat to human health, and inflammation is associated with hypertension. The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) represents a new inflammatory indicator. However, the relationship between the MHR and hypertension remains unclear. The present study investigated the association of MHR with hypertension. Method. For this cross-sectional study, we continuously collected data from the Physical Examination Centre of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University (N = 6632). The data included patients’ demographic information and clinical information including blood pressure, blood biochemical measurements, and MHR. The relationship between the MHR and hypertension was examined using different methods in univariate and multivariate logistic analysis, smooth function analysis, the threshold saturation effect analysis and subgroup analysis. Results. The results showed that MHR was positively associated with hypertension without adjustment (odds ratio [OR] = 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08–1.12, P<0.001). The positive association still existed in minimally and fully adjusted models (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.06–1.10, P<0.001; OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.05–1.10, P<0.001). Smooth function analysis of a generalized additive model revealed a continuous positive linear association between the MHR and hypertension throughout all MHR data (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.05–1.10, P<0.001). Subgroups analysis showed the homogeneity of the positive association among different subgroups. Conclusions. A continuous positive linear association was found between the MHR and hypertension in a health examination population.
