Overview

Latent class analysis shows better blood pressure control in active management of elderly patients with hypertension, suggesting implications for interventions.

Key Points

This research aims to explore self-management behaviors among older patients with hypertension and their impact on blood pressure control.
Conducted latent class analysis to categorize self-management behaviors of elderly patients with hypertension.
Performed data collection through physical examinations and questionnaires in a community health setting.
Analyzed associations using logistic regression and multiple linear regression models.
Identified four self-management classes: active management (23.7%), positive exercise management (16.3%), passive management (25.2%), and negative exercise management (34.8%).
Found that older patients with active or positive exercise management had better blood pressure control compared to passive management (β = 0.059 and β = 0.073, respectively).
Identified various demographic factors linked to the passive management class, such as older age, male sex, widowhood, and lower education.
