Having low blood pressure over the age of 75 could increase an individual’s risk of death, according to new research.
The participants had provided at least three blood pressure measurements in the three years before the study, and then for the study, were followed for up to ten years. During this time the researchers looked at an association between the participants’ blood pressure, risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and risk of death.
The association was particularly strong among the participants defined as frail, who had a 62 percent increased risk of dying during the follow-up. The researchers carried out the study after some countries changed blood pressure guidelines to encourage health professionals to take more measures to reduce blood pressure, however, UK blood pressure guidelines are still within safe parameters for everyone.
