Objective: To explore the blood pressure awareness rate, control rate, medication rate and influencing factors of the elderly in China. Methods: Based on the 2018 cross-sectional data of the influencing factors of health and longevity in China(Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, CLHLS), univariate and logistic regression were used to analyze the blood pressure awareness rate, control rate, medication rate and its influencing factors in elderly patients with hypertension. Results: A total of 8 927 people were included in this study, mean age was(84.91±11.38) years. The awareness rate of hypertension in the elderly was 64.6%(95%CI was 63.61% to 65.59%), control rate of hypertension was 24.9%(95%CI 24%to 25.79%), and medication rate of hypertension was 56.5%(95%CI 55.4%to 57.5%). Logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that age, residence, residence mode, origin, smoking, drinking alcohol, regular exercise, having pension, and home visiting services in the community were the influencing factors of the awareness rate of hypertension among the elderly(P<0.05); And age, gender, residence, origin, marital status, drinking, regular exercise, pension, and on-site service in the community were the influencing factors of the medication rate of the elderly(P<0.05); Among the elderly, the blood pressure was better controlled in the younage who live in cities, come from eastern regions, live in nursing homes, do not drink, exercise regularly, have pension, and have home service in the community(P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with the previous survey results, the awareness rate, control rate and medication rate of the elderly in China are increasing, but there is still lag behind developed countries. The awareness rate, control rate and medication rate of hypertension in the elderly are all related to their residence, age, source, current regular exercise, economic source, and home visit services in the community. |
