Clinical efficacy of Taichi Boxing on elderly patients with primary hypertension
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Taichi Boxing on elderly patients with primary hypertension.Methods From September 2021 to January 2023,a total of 80 elderly patients with primary hypertension were randomly as-signed into the treatment group(n =40)and the control group(n =40).All patients were managed by levamlodipine maleate tablets,and those in the treatment group were additionally treated with Taichi Boxing.Treated for 3 months,the aim was to com-pare blood pressure(diastolic blood pressures[DBP],systolic blood pressures[SBP]),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores(sleep quality,time before falling asleep,sleep time,sleep efficiency,sleep disorders,hypnotic drugs,daytime dysfunc-tion),Kessler Psychological Distress Scale(K10)and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale(GAD-7),36-Item Short-Form Health Survey(SF-36)(physiological function,physiological role,bodily pain,general health,vitality,social function,emo-tional function,mental health).The curative effect was assessed.Results After treatment,DBP and SBP in the both groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),which decreased notably in the treatment group compared with the control group(P＜0.05).PSQI(sleep quality,time before falling asleep,sleep time,sleep efficiency,sleep disorders,hypnotic drugs,daytime dysfunction)scores in the both groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),which were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group(P＜0.05).K10 and GAD-7 scores in the both groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),the reduction in the treatment group was more common than the control group(P＜0.05).SF-36(physiological function,physio-logical role,bodily pain,general health,vitality,social function,emotional function,mental health)scores in the both groups were significantly increased(P＜0.05),the increase in the treatment group was more prevalent compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion For elderly patients with primary hypertension,Taichi Boxing has significant effect,which can effec-tively improve blood pressure control level,sleep quality,mental state,quality of life.
