Abstract:
Objective To explore the relations between pulse pressure and LDL-C for elderly patients with hyperten-sion. Methods A total of 451 elderly patients with hypertension were selected and divided into four groups. Group A was 65 to 69 years of age, group B was 70 to74 years of age, group C was 75 to 79 years of age, and group D was ≥80 years of age. They were also divided into four groups according to PP levels: PP1 group ≤40 mm Hg, PP2 group 41 to 60 mm Hg, PP3 group 61 to 80 mm Hg, and PP4 group>80 mm Hg. They were divided into LDL-C group 1 (≥2.6 mmol/L) and LDL-C group 2 (<2.6 mmol/L) according to their LDL-C levels. Distribution of different age groups in four PP groups and the effects of different levels of LDL-C on pulse pressure were analyzed. Results (1) The propor-tions of PP2 group among the four age groups were 59.41%, 48.84%, 55.45% and 51.67%. The proportions of PP4 a-mong the four age groups were 4.95%, 3.88%, 3.96% and 7.50%. (2) Compared with PP1 group, the proportion of LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L in PP2 group, PP3 group and PP4 group was significantly increased. Conclusion (1) PP levels in different ages groups are concentrated on 41-60 mmHg. Among elderly patients with hypertension>80 mmHg, the pro-portion of patients with advanced age (≥years of age) is relatively higher. (2) LDL-C is the risk factor of increased pulse pressure for elderly patients with hypertension.
