ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore effect of walking on rehabilitation in aged patients with hypertension complicated anxiety.Methods:
A total of 160 aged patients with hypertension complicated anxiety were enrolled,randomly divided into medica-tion group (n=80,received routine medication ) and exercise group (n=80,received walking exercise based on routine medication),both groups were treated for four months.Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and ZUNG self-rating anxi-ety scale (SAS) score before and after treatment,incidence rate of cardiovascular events after one-year follow-up were compared between two groups.Results:
Compared with before treatment,there were significant reductions in IMT and SAS score in two groups after treatment,P=0.001 all;compared with medication group after treatment,there were significant reductions in IMT [ (1.05 ± 0.26) mm vs.(0.90 ± 0.46) mm] and SAS [ (38.07 ± 0.25) scores vs.(23.02 ± 0.46) scores] in exercise group,P<0.01 both.During one-year follow-up,total incidence rate of cardiovascular events in exer-cise group was significantly lower than that of medication group (30.67% vs.69.74%,P=0.001).Conclusion:
Walking helps to improve anxiety,reduce incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in aged patients with hypertension complicated anxiety.It’ s safe and reliable,which is worth extending.
