Objective:
To understand the situation of blood pressure control and its influencing factors in elderly patients with hypertension in Hangzhou, and to provide basis for the management of elderly patients with hypertension in community.
Methods:
The subjects of this study were hypertension patients aged 60 years and over in Hangzhou community health management of basic public health services. Demographic data and life behaviors were collected by a questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were carried out. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for blood pressure control in elderly patients with hypertension.
Results:
A total of 109 583 people were investigated, with 50 500(46.08%) males and 59 083(53.92%) females. The control rate was 47.70% ( 52 273/109 583 ). After adjusted for age and gender, regular medication ( OR=0.874, 95%CI: 0.838-0.912 ) was the protective factor, obesity ( OR=1.291, 95%CI: 1.260-1.324 ), abnormal fasting plasma glucose ( OR=1.218-1.344, 95%CI: 1.178-1.410 ), the number of unhealthy lifestyles ( OR=1.271-1.292, 95%CI: 1.231-1.344 ), the items of dyslipidemia ( OR=1.047-1.253, 95%CI: 1.017-1.311 ), and the number of cardiovascular risk factors above ( OR=1.254-2.109, 95%CI:1.175-2.281 ) were the risk factors for blood pressure control in elderly patients with hypertension.
