description ObjectiveTo analyze the anxiety status among elderly hypertensive patients in Hongkou district of Shanghai city, and to screen the influencing factors.MethodsConvenience sampling method was adopted to enroll 265 hypertensive patients aged 60 years or above from 8 communities in Hongkou district of Shanghai city, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 item (GAD-7) was used to assess their anxiety status, then Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the influencing factors.ResultsAmong 265 patients with hypertension, 45 patients (17.0%) had anxiety symptoms. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that non-hypertensive chronic disease comorbidity in recent six months (OR=3.093, 95% CI: 1.075~8.898, P<0.05), excessive alcohol consumption (OR=5.203, 95% CI: 1.407~19.234, P<0.05), living with spouse (OR=0.061, 95% CI: 0.005~0.699, P<0.05) and regular exercise (OR=0.360, 95% CI: 0.167~0.775, P<0.01) were the factors affecting anxiety in hypertensive patients.ConclusionAnxiety symptoms are quite common among elderly hypertensive patients in community,among which comorbidities and excessive alcohol consumption are risk factors, while living with spouse and regular exercise are protective factors.
