Clinical characteristics of elderly female hypertension patients in Xinyang rural areas of Henan Province,China
Abstract：Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of elderly female hypertension patients in Xinyang rural areas of Henan Province,China.Methods The clinical data of 2847 elderly female hypertension patients aged 45-75 years in Xinyang rural areas of Henan Province,China from October 2004 to March 2005 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into ≥ 60 years old group (n =1166) and 45-59 years old group (n =1681).Their clinical complications,laboratory testing data,blood pressure were compared.Results The baseline SBP was significantly higher while the baseline DBP was significantly lower in ＞60 years old group than in 45-59 years old group (P＜0.01).The incidence of grade 3 hypertension,abdominal obesity,hyperlipidemia,hyperuricemia,coronary artery disease,ischemic stroke,renal dysfunction,postural hypotension was significantly higher in ≥60 years old group than in 45-59 years old group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The rate of patients in two groups who did not receive antihypertension therapy was similar (59.3 ％).Multivariate regression analysis showed that postural hypotension was positively associated with coronary heart disease and negatively associated with ischemic stroke in elderly female hypertension patients after adjustment of conventional risk factors (OR=1.632,95％CI:1.200-2.218,P=0.002).Conclusion The risk of postural hypotension is hiher in elderly female hypertension patients than in middle-aged female hypertension patients.Postural hypotension is positively associated with coronary artery disease in elderly females.
