Abstract:
Using the method of stratified random cluster sampling,8 996 elderly hypertensive patients in community were selected in the study.Patients entered the community-based hypertension program receiving stratified management,individualized treatment and health education.After 3 years of intervention,the disease awareness rate,treatment compliance rate and hypertensive control rate were increased from 68.30％,55.40％ and 38.60％ to 98.90％,86.70％ and 77.80％,respectively (P ＜0.05).The systolic and diastolic pressure,body mass index,triglyceride levels and other hypertensionrelated indicators were improved significantly,the number of individuals with obesity/overweight,smoking and drinking were decreased and those with regular exercise increased (all P ＜ 0.05).The results indicate that community-based comprehensive hypertension management is effective for hypertension control for elderly patients in community.
