Although several studies have shown that high WBC count is a risk factor for hypertension, the relationship between WBC count and the incidence of hypertension in Japanese is poorly understood, as are the effects of WBC components on that relationship. Our objective was to verify in a Japanese population whether WBC or differential WBC count predicts hypertension incidence. A total of 9,383 initially hypertension-free subjects (3,356 men and 6,027 women), whose WBC counts were within the normal range (3,000 to
