Risk Factors for Change Blood Pressure Through Time: A Hospital Based Study

Background: Adults and elderly are particularly affected by hypertension, a chronic condition that raises the risk of cardiovascular disease and other morbidities. This study aimed to evaluate the variables that influence how longitudinal changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure occur in hypertension individuals. Methods: The follow-up data of hypertension patients were used in a prospective research design throughout a 6-month followup period. The data comprised 1,100 people between Feb and Aug 2019 with a minimum of two and a maximum of six measures per subject. A joint model was considered to investigate how the two end points joint evolution and related risk variables impact them. Results: Sex, age, diabetes mellitus, drinking coffee, drinking Alcohol, smoking khat, and physical activity were substantially linked with systolic and diastolic blood pressure among all factors included in joint models. Conclusion: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure changes have a significant positive correlation. During the follow-up period, hypertensive prevention should emphasise variables such as advanced age, diabetes mellitus, khat chewing, alcohol usage, and coffee use.
