Abstract：Objective To study the risk factors and preventive methods for the elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Methods 156 elderly patients with chronic heart failure were selected in 2013.3-2014.6. Data of basic information, condition, and family control (medication, diet, exercise, health education, water intake) were collected by follow-up and questionnaire, then analyzed by univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression.Results Results of univariate logistic regression showed that continued medication (0.113), exercise (0.102) and health education (0.452) were protective factors of repeated attack of heart failure; higher smoking index (24.553), high fat-salt diet (10.453), water intake (12.034) and multiple complications (9.892) were risk factors for heart attack (P<0.05). Results of multivariate logistic regression showed that health education (0.101) and continued medication (0.280) were protective factors; higher smoking index (15.022), high fat-salt diet (9.093), water intake (10.498) and multiple complications (8.192) were risk factors (P<0.05).Conclusion: Prevention of elderly patients with chronic heart failure should attach importance to family control (medication、smoking、exercise、diet 、water intake and health education), so as to reduce recurrent episodes of chronic heart failure.
