The present study is a sub-analysis of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) that aimed to evaluate the role of intensive vs. standard hypertensive treatment on cardiovascular outcomes according to the body mass indices of trial participants. SPRINT participants were categorized according to their baseline BMI values into normal (BMI >= 18.5 to <25), overweight (BMI >= 25 to <30), and obese (BMI >= 30) groups. The primary cardiovascular outcome was a composite of myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome not resulting in myocardial infarction, stroke, acute decompensated heart failure, or death from cardiovascular cause. Cox regression analysis was used to calculate hazard ratios for the study outcome in intensive and standard BP treatment among those with varying BMI. Among 9237 participants with, 1682, 3599, and 3956 were normal, overweight and obese, respectively. After a median follow-up of 3.26 years, the hazard ratios for the primary endpoint were 0.82 (95% CI 0.58, 1.16), 0.71 (95% CI 0.54, 0.94), and 0.76 (95% CI 0.59, 0.98) for the normal, overweight, and obese participants, respectively (P value for interaction 0.79). The effect of intensive versus standard SBP treatment for the other secondary endpoints and serious adverse events were all similar in participants of different BMI (all P-interaction > 0.05). In this sub-analysis of the SPRINT trial, intensive blood pressure control had a beneficial effect in reducing the primary endpoint and all-cause mortality irrespective of the participants' BMI.
