Does a systolic BP target of < 120 mm Hg improve net benefit in community-dwelling older adults with hypertension?
Intensive blood pressure lowering to <120 mm Hg provides a net benefit for almost all community-dwelling older adults with hypertension, though the magnitude varies by individual risk and preference.
Among community-dwelling older adults with hypertension in SPRINT, almost all participants had a net benefit that favored a systolic BP target of < 120 mm Hg, but the magnitude of net benefit varied according to estimated risks and simulated preferences.
