The prevalence of hypertension in China shows an increasing trend, and increases significantly with age. With the improvement of people's living conditions and the extension of people's life expectancy, China has entered an aging society. Due to the increase of complications and relatively long course of disease in elderly patients with hypertension, they have different disease characteristics and clinical manifestations from the general population with hypertension, and their treatment and nursing methods are also different from the general population with hypertension.
This project aims to explore the causes and pathogenesis of hypertension in the elderly from the aspect of TCM theory by studying the characteristics of TCM texture types and the rhythm variation pattern of blood pressure levels in elderly patients, and thus to unearth the response measures against the pathogenesis of this disease in the theoretical system of TCM, to summarize simple, effective and regular treatment methods,To adjust the biased constitution of this incidence population through traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), reduce or delay the occurrence of target organ damage and complications in this affected population, and improve the physical fitness and quality of life in the elderly hypertensive population.
