Abstract

Hypertension is a common problem in older adults (age greater than 60 to 65 years), reaching a prevalence as high as 70 to more than 80 percent [1-3]. In the United States, for example, hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥80 mmHg was observed in 76 percent of adults aged 65 to 74 years and 82 percent of adults aged 75 years or older who were participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) [1].
