Blood pressure targets for hypertension in older adults.

CONCLUSIONS: At the present time there is insufficient evidence to know whether a higher BP target (less than150 to 160/95 to 105 mmHg) or a lower BP target (less than 140/90 mmHg) is better for older adults with high BP. Additional good-quality trials assessing BP targets in this population are needed. PMID: 28787537 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
