Abstract P403: Mortality of Hypertensive Men is Affected by Pneumonia and Lung Cancer

Background: Both morbidity and mortality of hypertension are high. Whether pneumonia and lung cancer affect the mortality of men with hypertension is not well studied. The aim of the study was to study the association between pneumonia/lung cancer and the mortality among male individuals with hypertension. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on hypertensive men, who admitted into our hospital and lived in eligible downtown areas prior to admission. Variety statistical analyses were performed, including logistic regression to assess the association between pneumonia/lung cancer and the mortality. Results: 14354 patients were enrolled. Mean age of them was 68.9±12.4 year old (y) and dead ones was 75.9±9.5y. The hospitalized mortality was 5.9%, which was increased with age: the mortality of group ≦49y, 50-59y, 60-69y, 70-79y, 80-89y and ≧90y was 0.7%, 2.2%, 2.9%, 7.1%, 11.1% and 16.6% respectively. The increased mortality was significantly positively correlated with the prevalence of pneumonia in different age, P Conclusions: The study provides evidence that pneumonia and lung cancer significantly affect mortality of hypertensive men in downtown areas, bringing alert that in order to reduce the mortality of hypertension in mordent life, theses lung diseases should be prevented and treated intensively.
