Methods 120 elderly hypertensive patients recruited from the community in Hengyang city were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, each group had 60 patients. The experimental group accepted KTH integrated intervention weekly, and control group was accepted routine hypertension education monthly. The blood pressure was taken before, during and after intervention. Meantime the quality of life was surveyed with WHOQOL- 100 questionnaires before and after the intervention. Results The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in the experimental group were more lower than those before intervention and those of the control group after intervention. The hypertension of the experimental group was more stable as the time passed. There were distinguished differences between two groups in the quality of life, physical, psychological, social relationships, environmental and spirituality domain.
