Key result
Under-treatment of hypertension was strongly associated with rating hypertension control in both older men (OR 22.07; 95% CI 6.54-7.45) and older women (OR 12.16; 95% CI 3.65-40.46).
Why the study?
Factors associated with hypertension control among older adults with hypertension based on socio-demographic and health characteristics needed to be identified.
Population
1824 older adults with hypertension from the Eighth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Comparison
Older men vs older women
Design
Survey-based cross-sectional study

May inform risk stratification in older men; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Cross-Sectional (n=1,824)
Odds Ratio: 22.07 (95% CI 6.54–7.45)
Factors influencing hypertension control in older adults differ by gender, suggesting a need for gender-specific behavioral modifications and treatment guidelines.
Choi et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in hypertension (n=1,824). Under-treatment of hypertension was evaluated on Hypertension control (OR 22.07, 95% CI 6.54-7.45). Under-treatment of hypertension was strongly associated with rating hypertension control in both older men (OR 22.07; 95% CI 6.54-7.45) and older women (OR 12.16; 95% CI 3.65-40.46).
