Select physically disabled individuals over 50 years old and collect physical fitness measurement data. HGS was measured and adjusted based on body weight and waist circumference, with standard normal conversion. The relationship between HGS and blood pressure was analyzed using multiple linear regression, and further logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between standard HGS and the risk of abnormal blood pressure.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>695 disabled individuals participated in the experiment, including 402 males (57.84%) and 293 females (42.16%). Multiple linear regression analysis found that for each standard deviation increase in the standardized <jats:italic>Z-value<\/jats:italic> of relative HGS, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of male individuals decreased by 2.391 mmHg (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.008) and 1.229 mmHg (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.025); decreased by 2.336 mmHg (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.026) and 1.585 mmHg (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.008), respectively, for female. The increase in HGS reduced the risk of hypertension in physical disabilities in males [<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 0.820 <jats:italic>95%CIs<\/jats:italic> (0.670, 0.952)] (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.003) and females [<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 0.735 <jats:italic>95%CIs<\/jats:italic> (0.472, 0.986)] (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =
