Current antihypertensive drug therapy in 12,436 Swedish patients, 90 years and above, in relation to sex and comorbidity.

Given the rapidly ageing population and circumstantial evidence in favour of maintaining well-tolerated antihypertensive therapy in very old patients, prospective well-designed outcome studies are warranted.
