Why the study?
Does intensive blood pressure control to a target of <120 mm Hg improve or reduce gait speed and mobility limitation in adults 75 years or older with hypertension?
Does intensive blood pressure control to a target of <120 mm Hg improve or reduce gait speed and mobility limitation in adults 75 years or older with hypertension?
Intensive blood pressure control to a target of <120 mm Hg does not affect gait speed or mobility limitation in older adults with hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Intensive BP control does not preserve gait speed in adults ≥75 years; confirms neutral mobility effects in hypertension RCTs.
Odden et al. (2017) studied this question.
