Background: Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is an important hypertension subtype that predominates in the old people. However, the prevalence and long-term trends of ISH among untreated adults have not been reported.

RI PT

Design and Methods: A study sample of 24,653 participants aged ≥18 years were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2010 (12,018 persons from 19992004 and 12,635 persons from 2005-2010), representing a probability sample of the US civilian

population. The prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of untreated ISH were estimated to compare differences in the prevalence over two 6-year periods by conducting the independent

survey t-test.

Results: The prevalence of untreated ISH was 9.4% in 1999-2010 and decreased from 10.3% in 1999-2004 to 8.5% in 2005-2010 (p=0.00248). Old persons, females, and non-Hispanic blacks had higher prevalence of untreated ISH. Compared with 1999-2004, the prevalence of untreated

ISH in 2005-2010 decreased among older (33.6%, 95% CI=30.9-36.3% vs. 25.1%, 95% CI=22.7-27.5%) and female individuals (8.3%, 95% CI=7.5-9.2% vs. 11.4%, 95% CI=10.412.3%). The stratified prevalence of untreated ISH declined in 2005-2010 (vs. 1999-2004) for
