Profiles of 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement and their association with cardiovascular risk factors in elderly high risk hypertensive patients

Hypertension is prevalent in the elderly, affecting two-thirds of individuals aged 60 years and older. Ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) is recommended for diagnosing and managing hypertension in this population. This study aimed to characterize 24-hour ABPM profiles and their association with cardiovascular risk factors in older adults with high-risk hypertension.
