Background. Few studies have assessed the association between hypertension and risk of detailed causes of death. We investigated the association between hypertension and all‐cause mortality and 67 causes of death in a large cohort. Methods. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for self‐reported hypertension vs. no hypertension and mortality. Adults aged ≥18 years (n = 213798) were recruited in 1997‐2004 and followed through December 31, 2006. Results. During 5.81 years of follow‐up, 11254 deaths occurred. Self‐reported hypertension vs. no hypertension was associated with increased risk of all‐cause mortality (HR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.19‐1.31) and mortality from septicemia (HR =1.66, 1.06‐2.59), other infectious parasitic diseases (HR = 2.67, 1.09‐6.51), diabetes mellitus (HR = 1.97, 1.45‐2.67), circulatory disease (HR …
