ABSTRACT
Mortality of primary hypertension is high worldwide. Whether untraditional factors exist in modern life and affect the mortality is not well studied. The aim of the study was to evaluate the risk factors for fatality rate of hypertensive men in downtown area. A cross-sectional study was performed on hypertensive men, who were hospitalized into our hospital and lived in eligible urban areas. The characteristics of the patients and factors for the fatality were analyzed and of the risks or the contributors on the status were investigated. 14354 patients were identified. Mean age was 68.9 ± 12.4 year old (y) and dead ones was 75.9 ± 9.5 y. The overall hospitalized fatality was 5.9%, which was increased with age fatality with 0.7%, 2.2%, 2.9%, 7.1%, 11.1% and 16.6% was for age group ⦠49 y, 50-59 y, 60-69 y, 70-79 y, 80-89 y and ⧠90 y respectively. The increased fatality was significantly positively correlated with the incidence of pneumonia, P < 0.05, r = 0.99. Pneumonia was prone to involve in men with older age and severer organ damage by hypertension. Similar to traditional risks such as coronary heart disease and stroke, pneumonia and lung cancer were also significantly associated with the fatality. Odds ratio (95% CI) for pneumonia and lung cancer were 6.18 (4.35-8.78) and 1.55 (1.14-2.11). The study provides evidence that pneumonia and lung cancer are highly associated with fatality of hypertensive men in downtown area, indicating that in order to reduce the fatality of hypertension, these lung diseases should be prevented and treated intensively in modern life.
