Frequent use of non-opioid analgesics increases risk of hypertension

a recent data analysis by a U.Sstudy called "Professional Health Follow-up Study" showed that the frequency of application of non-opioid analgesics was associated with an "moderate" increase in the risk ofhigh blood pressureIn the study, 16,031maleselected were selected from an ongoing U.Sprospective cohort study in which the researchers analyzed the participants' use of drugs such as acetaminophen, aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), and collected data from a two-yearly questionnaire, with an average age of 64.6 years at the baseline in 2000 and an average body mass index (BMI) of 24.8During the four-year period, 1968menfor newhigh blood pressureMulti-factor analysis found that compared to those who did not apply analgesics,
the relative risk (RR) of high blood pressurein men who applied non-opioid analgesics for 6 to 7 days per week increased moderately, and the relative risk (RR) of acetaminophen, aspirin and NSAIDS was 1.34, 1.26 and 1.38, respectivelySimilar results were obtained when the number ofof drugsused with analgesics was analyzed on a weekly basis Multifactorrr value is 1.48 for those who take any non-opioid analgesic s15 tablets per week Although the differences were not significant, further analysis showed that the use of acetaminophen with a BMI of 25 was most associated with a risk of hypertension, while those who applied NSAIDS had the opposite result; BMI did not affect the relationship between aspirin and the risk of hypertension (Cao Ju)
