Hypertension was defined as physician-diagnosed hypertension, blood pressure \u2265140\/90 mm\u00a0Hg, or antihypertensive treatment. Obesity was assessed as BMI-defined obesity, central obesity, a combined \u201cBMI + central\u201d anthropometric phenotype, and clinical obesity, defined as excess adiposity with obesity-related organ dysfunction and\/or functional limitation. Participants were classified into 4 groups: neither hypertension nor obesity, obesity only, hypertension only, and coexisting hypertension and obesity. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox models were used to estimate HF risk, and the joint effects of elevated blood pressure and pre-obesity were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The 2 cohorts had similar mean ages: 58.15\u2009\u00b1\u20096.84 years in the UK Biobank and 59.42\u2009\u00b1\u20096.29 years in the Tongzhou Cohort. Depending on the obesity definition, the prevalence of coexisting hypertension and obesity ranged from 18.0% to 25.9% in the UK Biobank and 23.1% to 37.3% in the Tongzhou Cohort. Across BMI-defined obesity, central obesity, the combined \u201cBMI + central\u201d phenotype, and, in the UK Biobank, clinical obesity, the coexistence of hypertension and obesity was consistently associated with the highest HF risk. Among individuals without hypertension or obesity, the combination of elevated blood pressure and pre-obesity was associated with increased risk of HF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
