Why the study?
Do orthostatic changes in blood pressure (hypertension or hypotension) predict all-cause, CVD, or non-CVD mortality in community-dwelling older adults?
Do orthostatic changes in blood pressure (hypertension or hypotension) predict all-cause, CVD, or non-CVD mortality in community-dwelling older adults?
Both orthostatic hypertension and hypotension are relevant risk factors for mortality in the elderly, with orthostatic hypertension specifically predicting all-cause and CVD-related mortality.
