Why the study?
Does ambulation influence the reproducibility of circadian blood pressure variation in older nursing home residents?
Does ambulation influence the reproducibility of circadian blood pressure variation in older nursing home residents?
The reproducibility of circadian blood pressure variation and dipper profiles is lower in ambulatory older adults compared to bedridden ones, suggesting physical activity influences ambulatory blood pressure monitoring consistency.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Ambulatory older residents showed poorer reproducibility of SBP variability than bedridden ones; leaves open whether activity-adjusted ABPM interpretation is warranted.
Tsuchihashi et al. (2002) studied this question.
