This study aims to explore the association between extraversion personality and the BP level in a large sample of adolescents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>As an ongoing study, 5,246 children aged 6\u20139 years were recruited using a stratified cluster sampling method in 2014. The extraversion personality trait, assessed by the Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ, answered by adolescents) in 2019, was used in the main analysis. A total of 3,407 participants were eligible and included in this analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The EPQ extraversion score was negatively associated with a systolic BP, a diastolic BP, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in a univariate analysis. After adjusting for other covariates, high extraversion score was negatively associated with systolic BP (\u03b2 = \u22120.026; 95% CI = \u22120.047, \u22120.004; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002). There was an interaction between regions and the extraversion score on systolic BP (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>interaction<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> = 0.037). The stratified analysis showed that, in rural areas, the extraversion score was negatively associated with systolic BP (\u03b2 = \u22120.050; 95% CI = \u22120.081, \u22120.016; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.004). However, we did find an association between the extraversion score and systolic BP in urban areas (\u03b2 = 0.000; 95% CI = \u22120.028, 0.028; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.996). Similar results were observed for the extraversion assessed by parents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We observed that extraversion personality was negatively associated with high BP in adolescents, especially for those who were living in rural areas.
