Association study of angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism with elderly diabetic hypertension and lipids levels

Table 1 ACE genotype and allele frequencies in elderly control group, elderly hypertensive group and elderly hypertensive and diabetic group

Groups	n	Genotypes			Allele
		II	ID	DD	I	D
Control group	260	31 (11.9)	60 (23.1)	169 (65.0)	23.5	76.5
Hypertension group	205	61 (29.8)*#	78 (38.0)*#	66 (32.2)*#	48.8*#	51.2
Hypertension with diabetes group	138	44 (31.9)**	51 (37.0)**	43 (31.1)**	0.50**	0.50

Note: Between the elderly hypertensive group and the control group: *χ² for genotypes = 20.09, P <0.001, χ² for alleles = 23.63, P <0.001. Between the elderly hypertensive and diabetic group and the control group, **χ² for genotypes = 10.62, P <0.001, χ² for alleles = 22.4, P <0.001. Between the elderly hypertensive group and the elderly hypertensive and diabetic group, #χ² for genotypes =0.68, P>0.05, χ² for alleles = 0.29, P>0.05.
