Satoh M, et al. - Among participants from the general population of Ohasama, Japan, researchers prospectively evaluated age-associated trends in home blood pressure, home pulse rate, and their day-to-day variability, assessed as a coefficient of variation. Findings revealed a linear increase in home systolic blood pressure with age. Men vs women aged < 70 years exhibited higher home systolic blood pressure. An inverse-U-shaped age-associated trend in home diastolic blood pressure was also evident. In participants aged > 40 years, a linear rise in day-to-day home systolic blood pressure, with age, was reported. However, with the nadir point at 65-69 years of age, a U-shaped age-related trend in day-to-day diastolic blood pressure variability was identified. The day-to-day blood pressure variability did not differ significantly by gender. With age, a reduction was seen in the average and day-to-day variability of home pulse rate, but these were found to be lower and higher, respectively, in men vs in women.
