The purpose of this study is to contribute basic data toward the efficient management of Hypertension by comprehensive analysis of several factors which make influences on indicators of Hypertension management. To achieve this, using the data of 2007, 2008 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2,580 adults aged over 19 who suffered from hypertension have been analyzed comprehensively. The major results can be summarized as follows: First, in regard to the influential factors for awareness and treatment of hypertension, the older the patients were, the poorer their self-rated health status were. And when they had experienced a health examination, the more likely the hypertensive patients were aware of their hypertension and took the treatment for it. Second, as for the influential factors for control of hypertension, those who were older and those who had a health examination were significantly more likely to control their hypertension irrespective of gender. However, regular drinkers fell significantly behind in that aspect. The findings of this study show that systematic hypertension management, focusing on health behavior factors that affect the level of hypertension management, in accordance with the patients' sex and age will provide a more efficient way.

We studied the effects of red ginseng on blood pressure (BP) and the quality of life (QOL) in 19 hypertensive patients treated with antihypertensive agents. Red ginseng was administered at a dosage of three grams a day for three months. Systolic blood pressure was significantly lowered during the administration period of red ginseng. while diastolic blood pressure and hear1 rate remained unchanged. QOL was significantly improved in $89\%$ of the patients. Among the QOL variables. sleep disorder. thirst. fatigue. mood. sexual life and general well-being were improved. Furthermore. an improved coefficient of variation of R-R intervals $(CV_{R-R})$ was observed during the period. A month after the cessation of red ginseng systolic blood pressure returned to the level before the administration and QOL variables detariorated to previous pre-treatment states. These results suggest that red ginsing may lower systolic blood pressure and may improve QOL in patients treated with antihypertensive agents.

Chronic diseases is being increased attention to threatening the elements healthy life of elderly population in modem society. Especially, Chronic diseases caused by diabetes and hypertension is destroyed kidney. In this case, subjective symptom is not little. So if health is worsened, hemodialysis, artificial organs, transplant an organ etc. should be treated as a dangerous diseases. Therefor, a patients receiving hemodialysis of diabetes and hypertension studied on the effects to regularity of amplitude and rate vibration of vocal cords in hemodialysis in this paper. To do this, a diabetic and hypertensive patients don't have a problem with pronunciation selected as of the subjects and their voices collected before and after hemodialysis. We studied on the effects of voice analysis to apply regularity of amplitude and rate vibration of vocal cords. In conclusion, we extracted a result that voice after than before hemodialysis is relatively low in voice measures values a regularity of amplitude and rate vibration of vocal cords.

In diabetes mellitus, renal disease is a common complication, characterized by increased urinary albumin excretion and reduced eGFR. According to KDIGO CKD stage classification, Korean characteristics were analyzed according to urinary albumin and eGFR using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VI raw data. According to KDIGO classification, diabetic patients were classified as Low risk 72.0%, Moderate risk 19.3%, High risk 5.6% and Very high risk 3.0%. Low risk decreased from 74.7% to 52.2%, and moderate to very high risk increased from 25.4% to 47.8% as the duration of diabetes mellitus was prolonged. The risk factors were CKD stage 1 (HR 2.064) to stage 4 (HR 11.049), the highest risk of hypertension. The incidence of renal disease was elevated according to duration of hypertension and HR 0.42 of kidney disease was decreased in the group maintaining proper blood pressure. In the hypertensive patients, the group administered with target blood pressure had a reduction of the kidney disease by 42% than the group with the hypertension. Therefore, controlling and managing hypertension to target blood pressure is important for the prevention of kidney disease.

There is a need to develop a data quality management algorithm in order to improve the quality of health care data. In this study, we developed a data quality control algorithms associated diseases related to diabetes in patients with hypertension. To make a data quality algorithm, we extracted hypertension patients from 2011 and 2012 discharge damage survey data. As the result of developing Data quality management algorithm, significant factors in hypertension patients with diabetes are gender, age, Glomerular disorders in diabetes mellitus, Diabetic retinopathy, Diabetic polyneuropathy, Closed [percutaneous] [needle] biopsy of kidney. Depending on the decision tree results, we defined Outlier which was probability values associated with a patient having diabetes corporal with hypertension or more than 80%, or not more than 20%, and found six groups with extreme values for diabetes accompanying hypertension patients. Thus there is a need to check the actual data contained in the Outlier(extreme value) groups to improve the quality of the data.

This study aimed to identify the convergence relationships among nutrition knowledge, health beliefs, diet self-efficacy, and diet management behaviors among Sri Lankans with hypertension (HTN). 91 adults diagnosed with HTN for more than one year participated in this study. A set of interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to assess general characteristics, nutrition knowledge, health beliefs, diet self-efficacy, and diet management behaviors. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors that might influence diet management behaviors. There were statistically significant positive correlations between nutrition knowledge (r=0.26, p=.013), health beliefs (r=0.35, p=.001), diet self-efficacy (r=0.34, p=.001) and HTN diet management behaviors. Three variables, nutrition knowledge, health beliefs, and diet self-efficacy, explained 19.9% of the variance in HTN diet management behaviors (F=8.36, p=.001). Diet self-efficacy was the most significant influencing factor (${\beta}=.29$, t=2.75, p=.007), followed by nutrition knowledge (${\beta}=.25$, t=2.50, p=.014). The findings of this study can be used as valuable data for developing effective interventions to improve diet management behaviors of persons with HTN.
