高血压是老年人中最常见的慢性疾病之一，但血压控制率很低。在本文中，我们探讨了社会网络关系和基于网络的资源（例如，信息和支持）在高血压诊断和管理中的作用。我们使用来自国家社会生活，健康和老龄化项目（NSHAP）的数据来识别患有未诊断或未控制高血压的老年人。我们发现，网络特征和情感支持与高血压的诊断和控制。更重要的是，那些拥有更大社交网络的人，如果他们与网络成员讨论健康问题，未被诊断和未控制的高血压的风险更低。当这些通信线路关闭时，网络大小与未诊断和不受控制的高血压的风险更大有关。卫生保健利用部分介导与诊断的关联，但网络资源对高血压控制的益处似乎并不源于健康相关行为。
Hypertension is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among older adults, but rates of blood pressure control are low. In this paper, we explore the role of social network ties and network-based resources (e.g., information and support) in hypertension diagnosis and management. We use data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) to identify older adults with undiagnosed or uncontrolled hypertension. We find that network characteristics and emotional support are associated with hypertension diagnosis and control. Importantly, the risks of undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension are lower among those with larger social networks -- if they discuss health issues with their network members. When these lines of communication are closed, network size is associated with greater risk of undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension. Health care utilization partially mediates associations with diagnosis, but the benefits of network resources for hypertension control do not seem to stem from health-related behaviors.
