Key result
A lower HALP Score was independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy in older patients with hypertension (OR 0.944; 95% CI 0.910-0.979; P=0.002).
Why the study?
Inflammation and nutrition are linked to hypertension and organ damage, but the correlation between the HALP score and LVH in older hypertensive patients was unexamined.
Is the HALP Score associated with left ventricular hypertrophy in older patients with hypertension?
Population
234 older patients with hypertension
Comparison
LVH (n = 103) vs non-LVH (n = 131)
Design
Retrospective observational study

Lower HALP score association with LVH warrants no practice change; hypothesis-generating for validation in older hypertensives.
Observational (n=234)
Is the HALP Score associated with left ventricular hypertrophy in older patients with hypertension?
Odds Ratio: 0.944 (95% CI 0.91–0.979)
p-value: p=0.002
A lower HALP score is independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy in older patients with hypertension and offers moderate diagnostic value.
Liu et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Hypertension (n=234). HALP Score was evaluated on Left ventricular hypertrophy (OR 0.944, 95% CI 0.910-0.979, p=0.002). A lower HALP Score was independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy in older patients with hypertension (OR 0.944; 95% CI 0.910-0.979; P=0.002).
