Is outdoor temperature correlated with blood pressure in elderly individuals?
Blood pressure and outdoor temperature are strongly correlated in the elderly, suggesting a need for careful monitoring during extreme temperatures.
Outdoor temperature and blood pressure are strongly correlated in the elderly, especially in those 80 years or older. During periods of extreme temperatures, a careful monitoring of blood pressure and antihypertensive treatment could contribute to reducing the consequences of blood pressure variations in the elderly.
