Key result
The frequency of blood pressure measurement significantly impacted the detected prevalence of postprandial hypotension, which ranged from 11.6% to 81.1% depending on the calculation interval.
Why the study?
Postprandial hypotension prevalence in older adults with falls varies widely in the literature, prompting evaluation of how blood pressure measurement frequency affects its prevalence and severity.
Does the frequency of blood pressure measurement impact the calculated prevalence and severity of postprandial hypotension in older adults with a history of falls?
Observational (n=95)
Does the frequency of blood pressure measurement impact the calculated prevalence and severity of postprandial hypotension in older adults with a history of falls?
The frequency of blood pressure measurement significantly impacts the calculated prevalence and severity of postprandial hypotension in older adults.
Measurement frequency alters detected PPH prevalence in older fallers; leaves open standardized diagnostic protocols for clinical use and research.

Madden et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Postprandial hypotension (n=95). Frequency of blood pressure measurement vs. Different measurement frequencies was evaluated on Prevalence of postprandial hypotension. The frequency of blood pressure measurement significantly impacted the detected prevalence of postprandial hypotension, which ranged from 11.6% to 81.1% depending on the calculation interval.
