Self-management Among Elderly Patients with Hypertension and Its Association With Individual and Social Environmental Factors in China.

CONCLUSIONS: There is a need to develop and test interventions that improve self-management in elderly patients with hypertension. Specifically, individualized interventions to promote exercise among elderly persons with hypertension who are single and living alone are needed. Male patients with a lower education level, poor well-being, poor family function, and the lowest self-management levels are a key population to target.
