Abstract: Objective: To investigate the physical activity and correlated factors of the elder with hypertension in community. Methods: The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to evaluate the physical activity of the elder with hypertension. The influence factors were analyzed through the Logistic regression. Results: The Metabolic Equivalent Tasks (METs) of male patients in leisure physical activity were higher than those of famale patients, while METs of female patients in household physical activity were higher than those of male patients. There were 48.1% hypertensive patients with lower physical activity level, 38.2% patients having moderate physical activity, and 13.7% patients with higher physical activity. The Logistic regression showed that age, BMI, the presence of cardiovascular diseases and self-rated health were influence factors of physical activity in the elder patients with hypertension. Conclusion: The elder patients with hypertension had lower physical activity level in community. Healthcare providers should take effective measures to improve elder patients' physical activity, which may prevent the development of complications related to hypertension.
