摘要

Background

While hypertensive heart disease (HHD) has been widely studied, this study uniquely examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HHD mortality trends, which has not been thoroughly explored in the current literature. The pandemic’s effects on healthcare access, economic instability, and social isolation present new challenges and opportunities for understanding HHD mortality among the elderly.

Results

Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) increased overall between 1999 and 2020, from 36.7 to 133.9 per 100,000 people, according to analysis. The data on AAMRs indicated a consistent rise from 1999 to 2017, with a notable uptick from 2017 to 2020. An investigation based on gender revealed that older men had a consistently higher AAMR than older women. The biggest AAMRs were found among the non-Hispanic (NH) Black or African-American population, according to variations in AAMR based on race and ethnicity. Geographic differences between states revealed that compared to Nebraska, Oregon, North Dakota, Maine, and Minnesota, the District of Columbia, Oklahoma, Nevada, Vermont, and Mississippi had substantially higher AAMRs. The West, Northeast, and Midwest were in second place with a continuously higher AAMR, followed by the South. Furthermore, compared to non-metropolitan areas, metropolitan areas had a higher AAMR.

Conclusion

The importance of including demographic and geographic factors in public health planning and interventions is highlighted by these findings, which provide insightful information on mortality trends associated with HHD in the elderly.
