Gender and Age Peculiarities of Prevalence of An Anxiety-Depressive Syndrome in Patients with Arterial Hypertension

Abstract

A one-stage cross-longitudinal selective 1% study of the prevalence of clinical forms of anxiety and depression among AH patients; taking into account gender differences and the age of patients was conducted. As a comparison group, persons with no signs of AH were selected. The survey covered 10104 patients, including 3876 men and 6228 women. The dependence of the frequency and clinical form of anxiety and depression on the incidence of the AH population is proved, which determines the tactics and protocol for the treatment of patients with AH.
