We found increased mortality among hypertensive patients with underweight and class II obesity while decreased mortality with overweight and class I obesity was observed during the first 5 years of follow-up. Management efforts for hypertension may target controlling body weight in a reasonable range for patients, and probably more attention should be given to underweight patients.
