    BackgroundHypertension is associated with stroke events. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between hypertension and stroke in American adults from 2007 to 2018 in National health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.Methods28528 individuals in the NHANES from 2007 to 2018 were included in the cross-sectional analysis. The independent variable was blood pressure (BP) and the outcome variable was stroke. Multivariate linear regression model was used to study the correlation between BP and stroke.ResultsIn each multivariate linear regression model, BP level was positively correlated with stroke, and this positive correlation was stable in both men and women (man OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 0.95 to 1.69; woman OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.78).ConclusionOur results show that there is a significant positive correlation between BP and stroke. When the systolic blood pressure (SBP) is about 140 mmHg, the risk of stroke is the lowest; Male patients with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of about 80 mmHg have a lower risk of stroke.
