The aim of this study was to determine what lifestyle changes can predict acute onset hypertension in the normotensive community-dwelling elderly.This study targeted elderly people enrolled in National Health Insurance in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The subjects were 24,490 people who took all of the specific health examination conducted by National Health Insurance in fiscal years 2013, 2014, and 2015 continuously and had a recorded systolic blood pressure (BP) <130 mm Hg and diastolic BP <85 mm Hg in the first 2 fiscal years. We examined their lifestyle changes for the first 2 fiscal years using the questionnaires given at the health examination. Multivariate Poisson regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between new-onset hypertension observed at the last examination and unhealthy lifestyle changes.The mean age of the subjects was 61.5 ± 8.2 years old at baseline. We observed new-onset hypertension in 1.062 subjects at the last examination. Of the study subjects, 12,027 (49.1%) answered to having at least one of the items of unhealthy lifestyle change in the questionnaire. In the multivariate logistic regression, eating supper before bedtime showed a significant increase in the risk ratio for acute onset hypertension (risk ratio 1.27, 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.58).This study indicated that eating before bedtime is a risk factor of new-onset hypertension in the normotensive community-dwelling elderly. Adequate health guidance to avoid unhealthy lifestyle changes is required even in normotensive people as this hypertension is preventable.
