Factors and at-risk group associated with hypertension self-management patterns among people with physical disabilities: a latent class analysis.

This study provides evidence that there are mutually exclusive subgroups of patients with hypertension regarding self-management patterns, identifies an array of predictive factors in each latent class membership, and distinguishes a high-risk group by comparing the health measures among patients with hypertension with physical disabilities. Analysing subgroups may assist in identifying and meeting the diverse needs of self-management support in hypertensive patients with physical disabilities.
