BACKGROUNDRemnant-like lipoprotein particle cholesterol (RLP-C) is a highly atherogenic factor. RLP-C induces endothelial dysfunction and is associated with hyperinsulinemia. This study was designed to determine whether high plasma RLP-C levels predispose to the development of hypertension in subjects with normal blood pressure (BP).METHODSA total of 1,485 subjects aged >40 years in a Japanese Cohort of the Seven Countries Study received health examinations. We examined BP, anthropometric parameters, and blood chemistries, including fasting RLP-C levels. RLP-C levels were measured by an immune-separation method. We excluded from the analysis 676 subjects who had hypertension (BP >= 140/90 mm Hg), or were on antihypertensive medication, and/or were on antihyperlipidemic medication at baseline. Ten years later, 681 subjects were re-examined.RESULTSOf 681 normotensive subjects at baseline, 303 subjects had developed hypertension 10 years later. Baseline RLP-C level was significantly higher (P < 0.01) in the subjects who developed hypertension than in those who remained normotensive (3.7 +/- 1.9 vs. 3.3 +/- 1.6 mg/dl). Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that baseline RLP-C was a significant factor for incident hypertension after adjustments for homeostasis model assessment index and other hypertension-related factors (odds ratio = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.00-1.10; P = 0.04).CONCLUSIONSA high level of plasma RLP-C in normotensive subjects may predispose to the development of hypertension in a population of community-dwelling Japanese.
