senile hypertension

Hypertension is one of the common diseases in the elderly. With the extension of average life expectancy, the elderly population is increasing day by day, and elderly hypertensive patients are also increasing correspondingly. The elderly are an important part of the social population. Elevated blood pressure in the elderly is no longer considered a natural physiological change in the aging process. Aging is not accompanied by a significant increase in blood pressure, whereas social factors, including environmental factors, diet, mental stress, smoking, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption, may cause elevated blood pressure in the elderly.
