 This study found that three consecutive years of physician visits had a negative impact on poor subjective health among hypertensive patients in Japan. Additionally, patients without habitual exercise tended to not continue physician visits and perceived poor subjective health. This suggests that regular appointments every 30 days can be effective for individuals with hypertension, particularly if they receive continuous instruction from their family physician.
