Population

1,420 randomly recruited White Europeans (mean age 41.7 years; 731 women and 689 men in cross-sectional analysis, 208 women and 190 men in longitudinal analysis)

Outcome

Age dependency of peripheral and central systolic pressure, pressure amplification, and peripheral and central systolic augmentationsurrogate

With ageing, peripheral systolic blood pressure approximates to central systolic blood pressure, potentially explaining why peripheral systolic blood pressure becomes the main predictor of cardiovascular complications in older individuals.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Central BP rises faster with age than peripheral BP; leaves open whether central measures enhance CV risk stratification beyond peripheral SBP in older adults.
