The control rate was 47.70% ( 52 273/109 583 ). After adjusted for age and gender, regular medication ( OR=0.874, 95%CI 0.838-0.912 ) was the protective factor, obesity ( OR=1.291, 95%CI 1.260-1.324 ), abnormal fasting plasma glucose ( OR=1.218-1.344, 95%CI 1.178-1.410 ), the number of unhealthy lifestyles ( OR=1.271-1.292, 95%CI 1.231-1.344 ), the items of dyslipidemia ( OR=1.047-1.253, 95%CI 1.017-1.311 ), and the number of cardiovascular risk factors above ( OR=1.254-2.109, 95%CI：1.175-2.281 ) were the risk factors for blood pressure control in elderly patients with hypertension.@*Conclusions@#The control rate of elderly patients with hypertension in Hangzhou is 47.70%, which is associated with irregular medication, unhealthy lifestyle, obesity, dyslipidemia, abnormal fasting plasma glucose and clustering of these factors.
