Similar to our study, past research efforts have worked on developing hypertension risk prediction models using variables akin to our study, including age, sex, BMI, blood pressure metrics, parental hypertension history, smoking habits, and in certain cases, additional markers such as C-reactive protein, apolipoprotein A, and uric acid [35] (United States, n=1717 [36], n=1130 [37], n=15,732 [38], n=876 [39], and n=23,095 [40]; United Kingdom, n=10,308 [41]; and Iran, n=380 [42]). Here, CRP is linked to hypertensive disorder.
