Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Isolated Systolic Hypertension in the Rural Adult Population of Liaoning Province, China

Abstract

The prevalence of and associated risk factors for isolated systolic hypertension, as defined by the Joint National Committee (JNC)-6 classification, were investigated in the rural population of Liaoning Province, China. A total of 45,925 people aged 35 years or older were examined in a cross-sectional study. Overall, the prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension was 10.6% (males 10.1%; females 11.2%). The prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension was positively correlated with age, gender, smoking status, alcohol intake, body mass index, salt intake and Mongolian race. This study showed that isolated systolic hypertension was very common in rural Chinese people and that many risk factors are linked with isolated systolic hypertension.

Prevalence and risk factors of isolated systolic hypertension among the elderly population in Davangere, Karnataka

“…A similar finding was supported by Xu et al in China. [5] In our study, prevalence of ISH was equally distributed (13.6%) among subjects who had <5 and >5 servings of green leafy vegetables/day (25%), and this observation was supported by the similar study done by Jagdal et al (47.2%) in Mongolia. [4] In our study, prevalence of ISH (26.5%) was found high among the individuals who had <5 servings of fruits/day.…”

“…In our study, the highest (27%) prevalence of ISH was observed in 70-79 years of age group. The prevalence of ISH was found to rise with increase in age, and this was comparable and found almost similar with the study done by Mandal et [3,5] Epidemiologic transition and increase in life expectancy accompanying the demographic change had been associated with an increase in a number of the elderly and the burden of NCDs like hypertension and its subtypes. The present study also adds to this evidence.…”

“…The present results of ISH were comparable with the similar studies done by Gupta et al [11] in Shimla (7.8%), Jagdal et al in Mongolia (7%), and Xu et al in China (10.6%). [4,5] Compared to the other studies, prevalence of ISH was found higher in our study. The difference in prevalence could be due to study subject being the elderly.…”

“…[3,4] Despite the strength of these observational and intervention studies, only about one-quarter of hypertensive individuals are being treated to goal. [5,6] ISH is strongly age dependent. Both the Framingham Heart Study and the nationally representative National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III showed that a similar International Journal of Medical Science and Public Health 210 2018 | Vol 7 | Issue 3 pattern of progressively increasing SBP occurs throughout adult life in untreated individuals.…”
