Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in Tarakeswar, India, found that 53.5% of the elderly population has hypertension, mainly affecting older individuals and those with other health issues like diabetes and obesity.
- Many hypertensive individuals are not on medication, particularly among lower income groups and illiterates, and this leads to lower daily activity levels and life satisfaction.
- The findings highlight the need for interventions to manage hypertension in the elderly, as it is a treatable condition that can improve their overall quality of life.
