Hypertension Management Profiles for Chinese Adults Aged 60+ Years

A 2026 cross-sectional survey of 316 Chinese adults aged 60 years and older recruited from Shanghai community and outpatient settings. The dataset, authored by Jiayi Xia, examines hypertension-related knowledge, behaviors, barriers, and educational needs, and uses clustering to derive management profiles.

Use Cases

• Identifying determinants of regular blood pressure monitoring based on survey responses.
• Developing profile-guided educational interventions based on the five identified management profiles.
• Analyzing barriers to hypertension management, such as information overload and technical terminology.
• Comparing operational capability versus conceptual awareness as predictors of self-management behavior.

Strengths

• Includes specific survey results, such as 76.3% knowing the ideal BP range and 53.2% reporting regular monitoring.
• Provides statistically significant predictors, like older age (OR=0.944 per year) and absence of a home monitor (OR=0.113).
• Derives five distinct management profiles with clear characteristics, such as a 'High-knowledge/regular-monitoring' profile.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to a single city (Shanghai), which may not be representative of broader populations.
