Why the study?
Ongoing debate concerning targets of antihypertensive treatment in older adults is reflected in inconsistent guideline recommendations set largely on chronological rather than biological age.
Are targets of antihypertensive drug treatment in older adults consistent across guidelines for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases?
Are targets of antihypertensive drug treatment in older adults consistent across guidelines for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases?
Current guidelines show inconsistent recommendations for antihypertensive treatment targets in older adults, relying primarily on chronological rather than biological age.
May cause variable prescribing in older adults; challenges chronological age reliance and supports biological age research in guidelines.
