Methods:The study used the cross-sectional investigation method and the patients were recruited from six tertiary hospitals in Chengdu, China. A convenience sample of 451 elderly patients with essential hypertension was included in this study. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed as well. Results: Results showed that the score of elderly essential hypertension patients’self-perceived burden was 27.96 ± 6.04, which was at medium degree. According to Spearman's r test the anxiety, depression and medication compliance with Self-perceived burden (SPB) of elderly hypertension patients were statistically significant (r=0.372, 0.899,0.438,P=0.000,respectively). Single factor analysis showed that the difference of patients’ gender, place of residence, monthly per capita income, marital status, whether can afford medical expenses and number of complications in SPB scores was statistically significant (P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis also showed that anxiety, medication compliance, age and marital status were the main influencing factor of SPB of elderly hypertension patients (P<0.05). Conclusion: Our care workers should pay attention to the self-perceived burden of elderly patients with essential hypertension, and omnibearing, systematic nursing should be supplied to decrease the self-perceived burden of them.展开更多

Methods The A/C1166 polymorphism of AT1-R gene was assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in a case-control study of 87 essential hypertensive elders (EH) and 55 normolensive elders (NT). Results The genotype frequencies of AA, AC, CC were 0 .805 , 0.161, 0 .034 in EH group and 0 .927 ,0 .073 ,0 .000 in NT group respectively. The frequency of C61166 allele was higher in EH group (0.115) than in NT group (0 .036 )(P<0 .05 ). Conclusion The resultsindicate that A/C1166 polymorphism of AT1-R gene may be associated with essential hypertension in elderly.展开更多
