Arterial hypertension (AH) is the main risk factor for cardiovascular disease, disability and premature death. According to the World Health Organization, AH is the largest non-infectious pandemic in the history of mankind, which determines the structure of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
The purpose of the study was to measure the changes in quality of life in patients with hypertension, depending on the age aspect.
Materials and methods. 60 patients with hypertension, aged from 51 to 76 years and averaged 58.19 ± 0.80 years were examined. Among them, 11 females were from 51 to 59 years old (18.3 %), 12 females - 60 to 69 years old (19.9 %), 9 females - 70-76 years old (14.9 %), and 16 males - from 54 to 65 years old (26.6 %), and 12 males were 66 years old and older (19.9 %).
Office measurement of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and life quality assessment using the SF-36 questionnaire were performed to all patients at the beginning and at the end of the study.
Conclusions. As a result of the study, it was found that the quality of life values of patients with hypertension were statistically significantly lowered in all scales of the SF - 36 questionnaire, except of the social functioning scale (SF). The higher was the degree of reduction in SBP and DBP, the greater was the evaluation of the physical and mental component of health.
