Abstract
- The effects of exercise interventions on blood pressure control in hypertensive patients have received extensive attention and recognition. However, the influence of exercise-related behaviors on the effects of blood pressure control and the management factors that affect exercise behaviors remain inconclusive. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationships between exercise and exercise-related behaviors and blood pressure control, expecting to provide a scientific basis for further improvement of exercise intervention programs for patients with hypertension. Long-term residents in a community in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China who were diagnosed with hypertension at a medical facility were recruited for this study. Hypertensive patients with uncontrolled blood pressure were placed in the case group, and those with controlled blood pressure were placed in the control group. The count data were analyzed with the χ2 test based on α = 0.05. A univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen significant variables; independent variables were selected based on professional knowledge and were tested for co-linearity. These variables were incorporated into a non-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis to analyze relevant factors for blood pressure control, while calculating odds ratio (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and P values.
