TL;DR
This study identifies BMI, LDL cholesterol, and ethnicity as key factors influencing hypertension severity in centenarians from Hainan, China.
Contribution
The study provides novel insights into hypertension grading factors specific to centenarians in a Chinese population.
Findings
Low BMI (below 18.5 kg/m2) is associated with reduced risk of higher hypertension grades.
Elevated LDL cholesterol significantly increases progression to severe hypertension.
Li ethnicity is linked to higher risk of hypertension grade progression compared to Han ethnicity.
Abstract
As a population ages, blood pressure levels gradually increase, leading to a higher incidence of hypertension and increased cardiovascular diseases risk. This study examines factors affecting hypertension grading among centenarians in the Hainan Province. Data from 2014 to 2016 were accessed from the cross-sectional database “Hypertension Levels and Epidemiological Characteristics of the Elderly and Centenarians in Hainan province of China”. This study included 690 centenarians with hypertension. Hypertension grading was the dependent variable, analyzed against independent variables including demographic information (sex, age, ethnicity, education level, marital status, cohabitation, and regional distribution), lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity), body mass index (BMI), and comorbid conditions (diabetes and hyperlipidemia).
