Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of empty-nest (EN) on the variability of HBPV in elderly hypertensive patients.Methods 457 elderly essential hypertensive patients admitted to our hospi tal were divided into non EN group (A group,n =183),EN couple group (B group,n =150),and EN single group (C group,n=124).They underwent 7-day HBPV,their BPV was detected,their loneliness and depressive symptoms were assessed according to the UCLA-LS and GDS.Results The variability of self-measured DPB and SBP,UCLA-LS and GDS score were significantly higher in B and C groups than in A group (P＜0.05).The variability of SBP,UCLA-LS and GDS score were significantly higher in C group than in B group (46.06±7.98 vs 38.95±8.11;7.67±2.58 vs 6.48±2.60,P＜0.05).Partial correlation analysis showed that the variability of SBP and DBP was positively related with the UCLA-LS and GDS score (P＜0.05).The variability of SBP was significantly higher in B and C groups than in A group after adjustment of confounding factors (P=0.000).Conclusion EN,an independent influencing factor for the variability of blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients,is related with their loneliness and depression.
