Longevity is how to deal with hypertension

Patients with hypertension so long, and their reasonable way of life is closely related to. According to the data of the integrated survey, they'll do "to activities, optimistic mood, the law of life, moderate nutrition, smoking cessation and less wine, pay attention to health " this 24 characters. The city of Changsha Institute of Gerontology researchers in several batches of 90~ 109 years longevity elderly continuous study conducted a special investigation. Draw in the prevalence of hypertension in elderly.

Longevity elderly blood pressure has three big characteristics. That is:

In 1, the high prevalence of hypertension. Detection of 100 cases of City longevity in the elderly, the prevalence rate of hypertension was 68%. Comparative analysis of urban and rural in 445 cases of 60 ~69 years and in 444 patients over 90 years old with hypertension blood pressure values, 60 years old was 38%, 90 years of age group was 64.9%, of which 27 cases of centenarians in 23 patients with hypertension, prevalence rates of up to 85.2%. Longevity in the elderly hypertension prevalence was significantly higher in elderly people in general.

2, isolated systolic hypertension ( high pressure ) ratio. That is the only elevated systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in the normal range and more. 90 groups of elderly, isolated systolic hypertension accounted for 54.9%; centenarians in group 78.3% (n = 18 ) of isolated systolic hypertension. This is mainly due to old age with aortic atherosclerosis, cardiac ejection cannot fully inflated, together with peripheral arteriosclerosis, increased resistance, arterial system increased blood volume were not reduced, thereby forcing the systolic pressure.

3, pressure fluctuation. Oldest old blood pressure by rest, position, movement and emotion and so on, one day can occur great change. For example, some mild hypertensive patients, at a moment when the blood pressure can be reduced to the normal range, the other check still is hypertension.
