Key result
Older age, female gender, elevated home BP, low home heart rate, and elevated home heart rate variability were significant determinants of elevated day-by-day home-BP variability.

What are the determinants of day-by-day home blood pressure variability in a community-dwelling population?
Day-by-day home blood pressure variability is associated with older age, female gender, elevated home BP, low heart rate, alcohol intake, and sedentary lifestyle.

These determinants may aid risk stratification; hypothesis-generating for trials on modifying day-by-day home BP variability.
Kato et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure variability (n=1,215). Demographic and clinical factors was evaluated on Determinants of elevated home-BP variability. Older age, female gender, elevated home BP, low home heart rate, and elevated home heart rate variability were significant determinants of elevated day-by-day home-BP variability.
