Predicting hypertension through big five personality traits: a four-year longitudinal study in Japan.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with hypertension being the most prevalent and modifiable risk factor. This study aims to examine the role of the Big Five personality traits in predicting hypertension risk in a Japanese cohort over a four-year period.
methodLongitudinal data from the Human Information Database managed by NTT Data Institute of Management Consulting were analyzed. The final sample included 7,321 individuals (4,069 males, 3,252 females; mean age = 51.98, SD = 13.47). Personality traits were assessed using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory-Japanese (TIPI-J), and hypertension status was monitored annually from 2019 to 2022. A hierarchical multinomial logistic regression was employed to identify significant predictors of sustained and incident hypertension.
resultsHigher conscientiousness was associated with a lower risk of both sustained and incident hypertension, whereas greater openness was linked to an increased risk of sustained hypertension. In addition to personality traits, demographic factors such as age, gender, and income were significant predictors of hypertension risk.
conclusionsPersonality traits, particularly conscientiousness and openness, play a crucial role in hypertension outcomes. These findings suggest the importance of personalized interventions that consider both psychological and demographic factors to improve hypertension prevention and management strategies.
