Abstract: Objective To systematically analyze the detection rate of prehypertension(PHT) among Chinese college students,analyze the epidemiological characteristics of PHT among Chinese college students,and provide reference for PHT screening and prevention among college students. Methods Retrieve relevant literature on the detection rate of PHT among Chinese university students from databases including China Biomedical Database,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,and Cochrane Library from the establishment of the database to October 2023. Literature screening,data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed independently by two researchers using Stata 17.0 software for meta-analysis of overall detection rates. Results A total of 41 studies were included,with a total sample size of 131,144 cases,and the overall detection rate of PHT in Chinese college students was 31.0%(95%CI:26.0%-35.9%). The subgroup results showed that the detection rate of PHT among male and female college students in China was 43.8% and 22.2%,respectively. The detection rate in urban and rural areas were 35.8% and 37.2%,respectively. The detection rate in the south and north were 28.1% and 34.6%,respectively. The detection rate of alcohol consumption and non-alcohol consumption was 49.0% and 30.7%,respectively. The detection rate of smoking and non-smoking was 54.7% and 30.3%,respectively. The detection rate of overweight,obesity,non-overweight was 49.4%,57.0% and 25.4%,respectively. The detection rate of regular exercise and occasional or no exercise were 23.2% and 32.1%,respectively. The detection rate of daily emotional stress and peace was 25.4% and 18.2%,respectively. The detection rate from 2016 to 2021 and from 2005 to 2015 was 33.5% and 26.9%,respectively. Conclusion Chinese college students have a high detection rate of PHT,and it is recommended to focus on male,rural,northern,smoking and drinking,overweight and obesity,occasional or non exercise,and daily emotional stress college students,and move the prevention checkpoint forward.
