First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 220 adults aged 75 and older who have high blood pressure. Researchers want to see if brief drops in daytime blood pressure (below 90 mmHg) raise the risk of falls, hospital stays, heart problems, or death. Participants wear a 24-hour blood pressure monitor and are followed over time to track these events.
