Objective To analyze and construct systolic blood pressure (SBP) fluctuation trajectory in a community population with hypertension and to analyze the factors influencing different trajectories. Methods This is a community-based retrospective cohort study. A latent class trajectory model was used to identify and construct longitudinal trajectories of blood pressure change. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the associated factors of blood pressure trajectories by adjusting for different confounders. Potential confounding factors were identified using a directed acyclic graph based on a priori knowledge. Results A total of 793 patients with hypertension were enrolled in the analysis. They were divided into 3 groups by LCTM-fitted systolic blood pressure trajectories, namely stable low-level group (n=561, 70.74%), declining group (n=170, 21.44%) and rising group (n=62, 7.82%). Significant differences were observed among the 3 trajectories groups in terms of age, frequency of exercise, ways of follow-up, salt intake, compliance behavior, and referral (P
