Konig M, et al. - This cross-sectional analysis evaluated the prevalence of hypertension, patterns of antihypertensive therapy, and determinants of blood pressure (BP) control in the Berlin Aging Study II cohort. Community-dwelling older adults aged 60–85 years (n=1,654) were included in this analysis. Findings showed that BP goal levels were not achieved by most older adults. Lack of treatment was reported in relation to lack of hypertension awareness, younger age, absence of comorbidities, not being on a statin, and not having visited a physician in the past 3 months. Additional results showed that the patterns of antihypertensive prescription did not conform to current guidelines, and intake of additional BP treatment was not associated with higher odds of BP control. Researchers noted that lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels may be of potential benefit in control BP levels, and female sex and current smoking were found to be positively related to BP control.
