The subjects were enrolled in the physical examination department of yantai mountain hospital on June 1, 2008 and December 31, 2011. The inclusion criteria were as follows: 454 patients with ≥60 years of essential hypertension (EH) were found and diagnosed for the first time, including 425 males, aged from 61 to 75 years old, with an average age of (65.2±3.9) years.There were 29 females aged from 60 to 74 years old, with an average age of (64.7±4.1) years.According to the fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL- C) level is divided into four groups,4 cases of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were combined with EH (Group A).All are male.There were 367 cases in EH combined hyperlipidemia group (Group B), including 353 males and 14 females.There were 47 EH patients with T2DM and hyperlipidemia (Group C), including 41 males and 6 females.There were 36 cases in simple EH group (D group), including 27 males and 9 females.There were 7 cases with a history of T2DM and 119 cases with a history of hyperlipidemia, all of which did not receive standard treatment in community hospitals.No history of cerebrovascular and renal disease.Family history of stroke.The occupation was workers (1 case in Group A, 235 cases in group B, 11 cases in Group C, 5 cases in Group D), and the others were teachers and civil servants.
The data of cases, age, sex, initial blood pressure, smoking, and Body Mass Index(BMI) were normally distributed in each group. After multiple mean anova tests, there was no statistically significant difference between the four groups in terms of each indicator (P >0.05).There was no significant difference in urea nitrogen, creatinine and uric acid among the groups (P >0.05).The comparison of clinical data of the 4 groups before treatment is shown in Table 1.

Methods
Treatment Methods
The 4 groups were treated with blood lipid and blood pressure regulation and antiplatelet therapy. Aspirin, nifedipine controlled release tablets and succinylmetoprolol sustained release tablets were all used in some patients.Atorvastatin calcium was added to groups B and C.Group A and Group C were added with glimepirea, metformin and insulin glargine (when needed) injection.Each patient observation of 54 months since the diagnosis treatment, every 2 months follow-up (start treatment at any time within six months to community hospital blood pressure measurement, group A and group C added measure FBG and record), patients with follow-up, observation of blood pressure, liver function, glycosylated hemoglobin (glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, HbA1c), FBG, TC, TG, LDL, HDL - C - C, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, adjust the corresponding drug dose, stroke, coronary artery disease events.
Check items
All the included patients underwent Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) on the next day, FBG, TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, urea nitrogen, creatinine and uric acid were measured with beckman DXC800 automatic biochemical analyzer in the United States, and HbA1c was measured with Roche Roche-PPE instrument in Switzerland.Philips Brilliance 64 row volume CT or GE MRI Signa HDxT 1.5T cranial scan. Blood pressure was measured with OMRON electronic sphygmomanometer after 10 minutes of rest. Philips EPIQ 5 Ultrasound System for carotid artery examination .
Relevant standards
All the selected patients met the diagnostic criteria formulated by the fourth National Academic Conference on Cerebrovascular Disease and The Chinese Guidelines for diagnosis and Treatment of acute ischemic stroke 2014[2], and the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Plan typing method was used to determine the subtype of the patient [3].It was divided into total anterior circulation (TACI), partital anterior circulation (PACI), posterior circulation (POCI), lacunar Coinfarction (LACI). T2DM and EH are in accordance with the target standards for diagnosis and control of T2DM according to the 2007 Chinese Guidelines for prevention and Treatment of Type 2 diabetes and the 2005 Revised Chinese Guidelines for prevention and Treatment of hypertension.Dyslipidemia is determined by The Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of dyslipidemia in Adults (2007) [4].
Statistical methods
SPSS 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data, measurement data were expressed as x̄ ± s, variance analysis was performed on the two-factor factorial design data, count data were compared for X2 test, and logistic regression analysis was used for correlation test. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
