Early identification of prehypertension populations that may develop into hypertension and targeted intervention may reduce the prevalence of hypertension

which is the strategic demand of shifting gravity forward of disease prevention and treatment. At present

there are some limitations in prediction study of hypertension in prehypertension population. The authors put forward that by collecting the risk factors and four diagnosis information in prehypertension population

as well as by data analysis

the high risk factors and Chinese medicine syndrome elements for the development of hypertension from prehypertension may be screened out. Model could be established with multiple methods

such as nerve net

support vector machine and decision tree. By validating and evaluating the model

the risk forecasting model combined with risk factors and Chinese medicine syndrome might be established to provide scientific basis for early screening prehypertension population who may develop into hypertension.
