1Multivariate represents multivariate logistic backward regression analysis, adjusting for other factors which are significant (P < 0.05) in univariate analysis.
2Age is divided into four sub-groups. In multivariate analysis, last three sub-groups are compared with the first sub-group separately and their fatality risk increase 1.46, 3.05 and 5.16 times.
3 Except for traditional risks, pneumonia and lung cancer are also significantly associated with the fatality of men with hypertension.
4 OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
