2014, Journal of the American Society of HypertensionCitation Excerpt :Lower perceived health status has been associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality.10 Patients with HTN have been shown to have a lower perceived health status than the general population11–13 but little has been done to understand how this may impact HTN control, particularly with institution of more intensive BP targets. Moreover, there has been limited study in general of perceived health status as a potential barrier to effective BP management in African Americans.

2011, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Two additional studies reported decreases in QoL scores with hypertension. In another study, although older hypertensive patients had more comorbid conditions, subanalysis showed small decreases in selected physical health QoL measures (340). Yet another study found increasing prevalence of hypertension and comorbid conditions in older patients but the presence of any illness was correlated with decreased QoL.
