Why the study?
Does aging affect carotid artery stiffness and baroreflex sensitivity in response to central hypervolemia induced by head-out water immersion in healthy men?
Does aging affect carotid artery stiffness and baroreflex sensitivity in response to central hypervolemia induced by head-out water immersion in healthy men?
Age-related reductions in carotid compliance and vagal dysfunction may contribute to impaired baroreflex sensitivity and elevated blood pressure during central hypervolemia in older men.

May indicate baroreflex impairment during hypervolemia in older men; hypothesis-generating for age effects on carotid compliance.
Ueno et al. (2005) studied this question.
