The objective of this study is to assess the association between hemoglobin (Hb) and blood pressure (BP) levels among community-dwelling older adults.
This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2021 in West Bengal, India. Individuals who are receiving treatment for hypertension, or had a history of blood transfusion, or had a history of intake of iron and vitamins were excluded from the study. A total of 81 and 106 individuals were recruited in "Group 1" (no self-reported comorbidity) and "Group 2" (self-reported comorbidity present), respectively.
The mean (SD) age of the participants (n = 187) was 67.4 (7.4) years; 54% (n = 101) were males; and 45.4% (n = 85) were obese. We found a significant association of Hb level with systolic blood pressure (SBP) (r = 0.22, p = 0.04) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (r = 0.22, p = 0.04) in "Group 1". The quantum of increases in SBP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse pressure (PP), and MAP with one gram/dl change in Hb level were 3.24 (95% CI: -0.75 to 7.24) mmHg, 1.17 (95% CI: -0.84 to 3.20) mmHg, 2.06 (95% CI: -0.67 to 4.81) mmHg, and 1.87 (95% CI: -0.65 to 4.39) mmHg, respectively, in "Group 1" after adjustment for age, gender, and body mass index. The findings were inconsistent in "Group 2", and the changes in Hb level were 0.5 (95% CI: -3.77 to 2.77) mmHg, 0.92 (95% CI: -0.72 to 2.75) mmHg, -1.42 (95% CI: -4.09 to 1.24) mmHg, and 0.45 (95% CI: -1.05 to 2.40) mmHg, respectively.
Hb level has a positive correlation with SBP and MAP only in those without comorbidities.
本研究的目的是评估社区居住的老年人中血红蛋白(Hb)与血压(BP)水平之间的关联。
这项比较性横断面研究于2021年4月在印度西孟加拉邦进行。正在接受高血压治疗、有输血史或有铁和维生素摄入史的个体被排除在研究之外。“第1组”(无自我报告的合并症)和“第2组”(存在自我报告的合并症)分别招募了81名和106名个体。
参与者(n = 187)的平均(标准差)年龄为67.4(7.4)岁;54%(n = 101)为男性;45.4%(n = 85)为肥胖者。我们发现“第1组”中Hb水平与收缩压(SBP)(r = 0.22,p = 0.04)和平均动脉压(MAP)(r = 0.22,p = 0.04)之间存在显著关联。在调整年龄、性别和体重指数后,“第1组”中Hb水平每变化1克/分升,SBP、舒张压(DBP)、脉压(PP)和MAP的增加量分别为3.24(95%CI:-0.75至7.24)mmHg、1.17(95%CI:-0.84至3.20)mmHg、2.06(95%CI:-0.67至4.81)mmHg和1.87(95%CI:-0.65至4.39)mmHg。“第2组”的结果不一致,Hb水平的变化分别为0.5(95%CI:-3.77至2.77)mmHg、0.92(95%CI:-0.72至2.75)mmHg、-1.42(95%CI:-4.09至1.24)mmHg和0.45(95%CI:-1.05至2.40)mmHg。
Hb水平仅在无合并症的人群中与SBP和MAP呈正相关。
