Abstract:
A total of 203 hypertensive patients with established health files received standard disease management for 1 year. We found that the patients who underwent grade 2 or 3 management showed statistically significant difference in exercise, salt and oil restriction, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio, blood pressure, and blood-lipid from baseline (all P < 0.05). Hypertension awareness, behavior improvement, and disease control had statistically significant difference from baseline in all the patients (P < 0.05 or P < 0.001). After one year's intervention, the patient number in each grade was largely changed. Our study suggests that hierarchical hypertension management might be practical and effective in communities.
