The latest adjustment! Netizen: I developed high blood pressure overnight.
Guidelines for Clinical practice of Hypertension in China released on November 13-according to the new guidelines, the diagnostic criteria for hypertension in Chinese adults were lowered from ≥ 140/90mmHg to ≥ 130/80mmHg (mm Hg), which means that people whose blood pressure was originally in the 130/80mmHg~140/90mmHg range will combine the 2011 data of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) with the team Sun Yingxian, Director of Cardiovascular Medicine, the first affiliated Hospital of China Medical University. According to the new standard, it is estimated that the number of adult patients with hypertension in China has reached 613 million, and the cut-off value for diagnosis of hypertension has been lowered from 140/90mmHg to 130/80mmHg. "Blood pressure can be restored to the ideal range only through active lifestyle intervention, under the premise that most of the new patients can control their blood pressure without taking medicine." the implementation of the new standard will increase the medical burden in the short term.
November thirteenth
Guidelines for Clinical practice of Hypertension in China released--
According to the new "Guide"
Diagnostic criteria of hypertension in Chinese adults
By ≥ 140/90mmHg
Down to ≥ 130/80mmHg (mm Hg)
Which means
The blood pressure was originally at
The crowd in the 130/80mmHg~140/90mmHg range
From the "normal high blood pressure" population
People who have been transferred to hypertension
Many people say
Wake up in a sleep
Suddenly become a "patient with high blood pressure"
Some netizens who are more concerned about this said that
The standards of other countries have long been adjusted.
In November 2017, the American Hypertension Association / American Heart Association (AHA/ACC) was the first to define hypertension as ≥ 130/80mmHg. Combined with the 2011 data of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), Sun Yingxian, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the first affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, estimates that 613 million Chinese adults have hypertension according to the new standards, while about 268 million meet the 2010 China guidelines.
Guo Yifang, an expert in the preparation team of the Guide and vice president of Hebei Provincial people's Hospital, said in an interview that the impact of the downgrade should be divided into two. "the reduction of the diagnostic threshold for hypertension from 140/90mmHg to 130/80mmHg increases the number of patients with hypertension, but only 22% of the population needs medication. Most people do not need to take medicine, but can restore their blood pressure to the ideal range only through active lifestyle intervention, such as controlling diet, losing weight and increasing muscle, eating less salt, quitting smoking and drinking, etc. "
Guo Yifang further pointed out that under the premise that most of the new patients can control their blood pressure without taking medicine, the implementation of the new standard will increase the medical burden in the short term, but the increase is not significant, and the cost of medical economics is lighter.
"lowering the diagnostic criteria for hypertension is generally in line with the principles of medical economics. Because down-regulation can make more people pay attention to blood pressure in the early stage, active intervention to reduce blood pressure, can significantly reduce the incidence of cardio-cerebrovascular complications. After 5 to 10 years, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China is less, thus saving a lot of medical expenses. The cost savings far exceed the economic cost of taking medicine for a small number of people as a result of the reduction in standards. "
In all respects, the adjustment of diagnostic criteria for hypertension will cause fluctuations, but experts believe that this adjustment is good for the health of social groups. Compared with the developed countries in Europe and the United States, the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in China has improved after half a century of efforts, but it is still at a very low level. The public still do not understand the harm of hypertension, do not attach importance to the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, and many people do not take medicine or treatment after diagnosis.
