Objective To investigate the prevalence of high-normal blood pressure in medical junior college students

and also analyze its risk factors.Methods Based on the method of multi-stage sampling

500 students from Quanzhou Medical College（from grade 1 to grade 3）participated in this study.The sociodemographic characteristics were collected using a self-designed"Health Information Chart"

and health check-up was performed for all of these participants.And then

data were statistically analyzed.Results The detection rate of high-normol blood pressure was 62.8%.The prevalence of high-normal blood pressure varied significantly with gender

body mass index（BMI）

abdominal obesity

cardio-ankle vascular index（CAVI）

smoking and alcohol consumption status（P <0.05）.Male gender

higher BMI

presence of abdominal obesity

borderline CAVI values

smoking

and alcohol consumption were associated with a higher prevalence of high-normal blood pressure.According to Logistic regression analysis

male

BMI≥30.0 kg/m2

abdominal obesity

smoking

and alcohol consumption were risk factors for high-normal blood pressure（P<0.05）.Conclusion The prevalence of high-normal blood pressure is mainly influenced by gender

BMI

abdominal obesity

smoking

and alcohol consumption.It is important to take specific measures to manage the risk of high blood pressure in this population

so as to promote healthy development of medical junior college students.
