Multifaceted Intensive Blood Pressure Control Model in Older and Younger Individuals With Hypertension: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The sustainable effectiveness and safety of a nonphysician community health care practitioner-led intensive blood pressure intervention on cardiovascular disease have not, to the authors' knowledge, been studied, especially in the older adult population.

Objective

To evaluate such a multifaceted model with a more stringent blood pressure treatment goal (<130/80 mm Hg) among patients aged 60 years and older with hypertension.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a 48-month follow-up study of the China Rural Hypertension Control Project (CRHCP), an open-cluster randomized clinical trial, conducted from 2018 to 2023. Participants 60 years and older and younger than 60 years with a diagnosis of hypertension from the CRHCP trial were included for analysis.
