[Effects of Baduanjin on blood pressure and quality of life in patients with isolated systolic hypertension]

OBJECTIVE: To observe the blood pressure control and quality of life of patients with simple systolic hypertension after Baduanjin exercise. METHODS: 60 patients with simple systolic hypertension were randomly divided into 30 cases in the treatment group and 30 cases in the control group, and the conventional treatment plan (amlodipine 5mg is taken orally, and 80mg is added for those who cannot achieve blood pressure control). On this basis, the treatment group is guided to do eight-stage brocade exercises every morning and evening. The dynamic blood pressure level was detected before treatment and 3 months after treatment, and the quality of life of patients was evaluated by a self-made simple quality of life scale, comparing the clinical efficacy of the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the improvement of 24-hour average blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure), daytime systolic blood pressure, night average blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure) was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01); sleep, appetite, somatic pain, excretion, anxiety and depression in the treatment group. The improvement degree of live quality score is significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01); the total efficiency difference between the two groups has no statistical significance (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Baduanjin has a positive impact on the blood pressure control of patients with simple systolic hypertension, and can improve the quality of life of patients, which is worthy of clinical application.
