Abstract

Objective: To systematically review the current status of frailty and its influencing factors in middle-aged and-elderly patients hospitalized with hypertension. Methods: Literature of CNKI, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science and Cochrane Library on the factors affecting combined frailty in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients were searched to build the database until December 31, 2023, and Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan5.4 software. Results: A total of 14 articles including 4097 middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients were included. The Meta-analysis results showed that: The incidence of frailty in the middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients was 36%. And A total of 13 contributing factors were statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion: The occurrence of frailty in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive hospitalized patients is affected by many factors. Medical staff should focus on the evaluation and management of high-risk groups, and make early intervention to reduce the occurrence of frailty and slow down the process of frailty.
