Hypertension has become a major public health challenge. However, numerous research results reported in the literature focus primarily on risk factors of hypertension, little is known about how the whole continuum of blood pressure (BP) is associated with risk factors of hypertension. This study aims to reveal quantile-specific associations of BP with its risk factors. A cross-sectional survey based on a sample of 23,050 adults aged 18 to 79 years was conducted in Jilin Province in 2012, and some subjects were excluded due to missing values in BP or having BP control according to the purpose of this study. Quantile regression (QR) was employed to investigate the associations between systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) and the risk factors. The SBP and DBP in males presented statistically higher than females (P < 0.001). High-salt diet for males manifested a slightly increasing positive association with higher SBP only for high quantiles (>= 70), but with a higher DBP for middle part of the quantiles (30 similar to 75), compared with bland diet. High-salt diet, drinking and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were positively associated with BP measures in males. And the coefficient of total cholesterol (TC) in QR increased with BP in females who used to live in town.
