Discussion

Observational study identified masked hypertension in young adults, suggesting home blood pressure monitoring is crucial for diagnosis.

Masked hypertension was present in 3.8% of young adults, reflecting the importance of accurate BP monitoring.
Participants aged over 30, with high BMI and sedentary lifestyles, showed significant association with masked hypertension.
Using home blood pressure monitoring, clinic BP was less than 140/90 mmHg in participants diagnosed with masked hypertension.
Future research should explore optimal screening strategies to enhance hypertension diagnosis in young populations.

Khanom et al. (2025) studied this question.
