Implication

Higher SBP linked to lower baroreflex gain in elderly; leaves open causality and need for longitudinal studies.

Structured PICO

Population

44 healthy subjects, comprising 34 elderly (mean age 71 +/- 4 years) and 10 young (mean age 31 +/- 3 years) individuals.

Outcome

Relation between systolic blood pressure, carotid artery stiffness, and baroreflex gainsurrogate

In healthy elderly individuals, elevated systolic blood pressure is independently associated with reduced baroreflex gain, irrespective of carotid artery stiffness.
