Antihypertensive medications and physical function in older persons.

CONCLUSION: Use of BB and three or more antiHTNs yielded 44% and 52% increased odds of accelerometry-defined high sedentary time, respectively. Notably, high sedentary time is a risk factor for adverse health outcomes. Thus, future work should evaluate whether high sedentary time mitigates benefits or increases risks, regarding antiHTN use in aging populations. PMID: 32593771 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
