Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between low blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) caused by antihypertensive medications and mortality rates among nursing home residents aged 60 and older.
- The research, conducted over a median follow-up of about 15 months for short-term and 40 months for long-term mortality, found that 34.8% of residents had low systolic blood pressure (≤110 mm Hg) and 15.8% had low diastolic blood pressure (≤65 mm Hg).
- Results indicated that both low SBP and low DBP were significantly associated with higher mortality risks over both follow-up periods, even after accounting for factors like age, mobility status, and overall health. *
Disability is utmost important on an aging population's health. Obesity is associated with increased risk for disability. On-the-other-hand, higher-BMI is reported as associated with better functionality in older people in some reports defined as "obesity paradox".
