Methods From Apr. 2012 to Sept. 2012, 2 223 elderly patients (over 60 years old) with hypertension were surveyed. The status of diabetes, smoking and cardiovascular diseases were collected from the patients by using questionnaire, and the data of BMI, blood pressure (BP), blood glucose, blood fat and blood uric acid (BUA) was collected through body examination and laboratory tests. All data was given assessment of risk stratification according to the Chinese Guideline for the Management of Hypertension. Results Among 2 223 patients, there were 1 094 (49.2%) in very high risk, 637 (28.65%) in high risk, 475 (21.4%) in medium risk, and 17 (0.76%) in low risk. The other cardiovascular risk factors were more and dyslipidemia accounted for 60.0%, and overweight and obesity reached over 60%. The percentage of patients with complicating diabetes and heart-brain-kidney target organ damage was higher, and diabetes reached 25.78%, heart disease, 13.99%, cerebrovascular diseases, 15.02%, and renal diseases, 3.46%. Conclusion The elderly patients with hypertension in rural areas of Beijing have more risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, more complications and higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. It is important for them to control BP, blood fat, blood glucose, diet and lifestyle.
