INFLUENCE OF FACTORS ON SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION IDENTIFIED DURING SCREENING

Abstract

Objective: Purpose: to assess the effect of various factors on systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with hypertension identified at screening. Design and method: A survey of 354 patients with hypertension identified at screening was carried out and the influence of various factors on SBP was assessed. Results: The average age of patients is 54 years [Q1-Q3: 50–54], of which 36.2% are men, 63.8% are women. Middle systolic blood pressure is 140 [Q1-Q3: 130–140] mm Hg. Most of the respondents have varying degrees of obesity. The average body mass index is 31.86 [Q1-Q3: 29.4–31.86]. The average waist is 95 [Q1-Q3: 92–95]. Mean values of total cholesterol. 5.8 [Q1-Q3: 5.6–5.8]. With an increase in age by 1 full years, an increase in SBP by 0.148 mm.Hg. should be expected. In accordance with the coefficient of determination R2 in the resulting model, 0.56% of the factors influencing the value of SBP were taken into account. With an increase in body mass index by 1, a decrease in SBP by 0.059 mm Hg should be expected. In accordance with the coefficient of determination R2 in the resulting model, 0.04% of the factors influencing the SBP were taken into account. With an increase in the waist by 1 cm, an increase in SBP by 0.059 mm Hg should be expected. In accordance with the coefficient of determination R2 in the resulting model, 0.09% of the factors influencing the SBP were taken into account. With an increase in total cholesterol by 1 mmol/l. an increase in SBP by 24.466 mm Hg should be expected. In accordance with the coefficient of determination R2, the resulting model took into account 34.27% of the factors affecting the SBP. The effect of total cholesterol on SBP was statistically significant (p = 0.001) (methods used: Kruskal-Wallis test). Conclusions: The effect of total cholesterol on SBP is statistically significant (p = 0.001). With an increase in total cholesterol by 1 mmol/l. an increase in SBP by 24.466 mm Hg should be expected.
