Longitudinal predictors of health-related quality of life in middle-aged and older adults with hypertension: results of a population-based study

Journal of Hypertension

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the longitudinal association between cardiovascular risk factors including albuminuria and other variables (e.g. awareness of hypertension, number of types of antihypertensive drugs, comorbidity), and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a large cohort of patients with hypertension, over a follow-up period of 5 years. Nine thousand nine hundred and fifty-three participants of the ESTHER (Epidemiologische Studie zu Chancen der Verhütung, Früherkennung und optimierten Therapie chronischer Erkrankungen) study - a population-based cohort study of middle-aged and older adults aged 50-74 years at baseline - were recruited by general practitioners (GPs) in 2000-2002 and included in the follow-up (2005-2007). HRQOL at baseline and follow-up was measured using the Short-Form General Health Survey (SF-12). Mental component scores (MCS) and physical component scores (PCS) were calculated. Multiple linear regression models were used to determine longitudinal predictors of HRQOL at follow-up. Four thousand, two hundred and three patients with hypertension (98.2%) responded to the SF-12 both at baseline and after 5 years and were therefore included in the study. Smoking status, BMI, diabetes, macroalbu...Continue Reading
