Overview

Randomized trial examines spatial risk of hypertension in rural elderly, suggesting dietary and climate factors influence prevalence.

Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze spatial patterns of hypertension in rural elderly adults and identify influencing factors.
  • Analyzed spatial distribution of hypertension prevalence among rural older adults.
  • Used Pearson correlation and maximum entropy (MaxEnt) for data analysis.
  • Examined associations with dietary, behavioural, socioeconomic, and environmental variables.
  • Hypertension prevalence was negatively correlated with grain intake (r=-0.600, p=0.002) and poultry consumption (r=-0.504, p=0.010).
  • Alcohol use contributed 39.2% to the risk according to the MaxEnt model.
  • Identified high-risk areas mainly in northern and north-eastern rural China with AUC=0.871.
