Key result
Hypertension linked to poorer HRQoL versus normotension across all EQ-5D domains.
Why the study?
Does hypertension reduce health-related quality of life compared to normotensive individuals in Chinese adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=3,509)
Does hypertension reduce health-related quality of life compared to normotensive individuals in Chinese adults?
Hypertension is associated with significantly poorer health-related quality of life across all EQ-5D domains compared to normotensive individuals in a Chinese adult population.

May prompt HRQoL assessment in hypertension care; leaves open causal effects and intervention benefits.
Zhang et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=3,509). Hypertension vs. Normotension was evaluated on Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using EQ-5D. Hypertension was associated with poorer health-related quality of life compared to normotension across all domains of the EQ-5D and its utility index.
