Dr. Dinkar N. Goswami

Abstract :

 Background: Hypertension is recognized as the most common cardiovascular disorder and a leading cause ofmorbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries. Objectives: We carried out an observational study in 100 of hypertensive geriatric patients (age ?60 years) at our medical collegeTo assess clinical profile of hypertensive patyients. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out on a total of 100 hypertensive patients attending ourtertiary care Hospital and 100 age and sex matched healthy controls. Results: Maximum incidence of hypertension was noticed in the age group 42–49 years. Male to female ratio was 2.3:1. The hypertensive subjects were significantly heavier than the normotensive subjects leAll three factors (education, labour market status and income) also influence a patient’s lifestyle and health behaviour. Studies of hospital populations have shown associations between low SES and higher prevalence of hypertension, poorer BP control and higher mortality rate. Conclusions: A correlation was attempted with various clinical parameters like age, gender and lipid fractions and socioeconomic status
