Abstract

To explore the association of hypertension with health-related fitness among middle aged and elderly people by measuring blood pressure and health-related fitness indicators. The cross sectional study was conducted by using convenience sampling. The 4370 middle aged and elderly people took part in annual physical examination report of community-dwelling residents. Face-to-face interview was performed to obtain basic information. Health-related fitness was evaluated based on Annual National Physical Health Monitoring. Hypertension was diagnosed by annual physical examination report. Mann-Whitney U Test, Chi square Test and binary logistic regression model were used to analyzed the evaluating results. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 35.5% and 31.1% for male and female, respectively. In all groups, BMI and RHR had significant effects on the prevalence of hypertension for both male and female, before and after adjusting for demographic characteristics. Hypertension in the elderly is associated with physical fitness declining, while in the middle-aged is not. Increased BMI and RHR are always risking factors for hypertension. Significant positive associations were detected between the HGS and the incident risk of hypertension among the middle aged.
