P>ObjectiveLeptin is associated with blood pressure (BP) in experimental and cross-sectional studies, but only one previous prospective study of middle-aged men has reported the association between leptin and incident hypertension. We examined the association of leptin levels with incident hypertension in a population-based study of older men and women.DesignLongitudinal cohort study.PopulationParticipants were 602 community-dwelling older adults with normal baseline BP levels who attended a research clinic visit between 1984 and 1987 and again 4 center dot 4 years later (mean age was 66 center dot 2 +/- 11 center dot 4; 60 center dot 6% were men; mean body mass index (BMI) 24 center dot 9 +/- 3 center dot 4 kg/m2).MeasurementsHypertension was defined as systolic BP >= 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP >= 90 mmHg and/or antihypertensive drug treatment. Leptin was measured by radioimmunoassay.ResultsAfter an average 4 center dot 4-year follow-up (minimum 2-maximum 7 years), 106 (17 center dot 6%) new cases of hypertension were identified. At baseline, participants who developed hypertension were older and had higher systolic BP and higher total cholesterol compared to participants who remained normotensive. Baseline serum leptin levels were higher in participants who developed hypertension compared to persistent normotensives [median (25th-75th range)] [8 center dot 8(5-16) vs 7(4-11) ng/ml, P = 0 center dot 002]. In logistic regression models, leptin (log-transformed) predicted incident hypertension before and after adjustments for baseline age, BMI, systolic BP, total cholesterol, medications, and previous cardiovascular disease (OR 1 center dot 75 95% CI 1 center dot 17-2 center dot 61, P = 0 center dot 006). This association persisted after exclusion of 45 obese participants.ConclusionHigher leptin levels were independently associated with increased odds of incident hypertension in older adults.
