Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the relationship between liver enzymes and hypertension.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This prospective cohort study utilized data from the Kharameh cohort study, which is a branch of the Prospective Epidemiological Studies in Iran (PERSIAN) database. The study included 7710 participants aged between 40 and 70 years. Hypertension was defined in accordance with the European guidelines for hypertension management, and the association between liver enzymes and hypertension was modeled and predicted using Firth logistic regression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study investigated the association between liver enzymes and hypertension risk in a cohort of 7710 individuals aged 40\u201370 years. The results showed that higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were associated with an increased risk of hypertension, and this relationship remained significant even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Additionally, separate analyses within age subgroups revealed a significant association between ALP concentration and high blood pressure in certain age ranges.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study demonstrated a significant association between high levels of ALT, GGT, and ALP and an increased risk of hypertension, regardless of other risk factors. These results suggest that monitoring liver enzymes, specifically ALT, GGT, and ALP, could serve as a useful tool to predict hypertension risk and identify individuals who could benefit from early intervention. Overall, these findings underscore the importance of monitoring liver function in preventing and managing hypertension.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.1601","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,5]],"date-time":"2023-10-05T19:25:00Z","timestamp":1696533900000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Investigating the relationship between liver enzymes and incidence of hypertension: A population\u2010based cohort study in Kharameh, a city in the South of Iran"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2215-3791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Najibullah","family":"Baeradeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Student Research Committee, School of Health Shiraz University of Medical Sciences Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2301-5603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mozhgan","family":"Seif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Non\u2010Communicable Diseases Research Center, School of Health Shiraz University of Medical Sciences Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abbas","family":"Rezaianzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Colorectal Research Center, School of Health Shiraz University of Medical Sciences Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seyed Vahid","family":"Hosseini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Colorectal Research Center, School of Medicine Shiraz University of Medical Sciences  Shiraz Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.115.018912"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","unstructured":"WHO W.
