초록

As the prevalence of hypertension in the elderly population is increasing, information regarding the characteristics, optimal blood pressure targets, and special considerations for elderly hypertensive patients is needed to improve clinical outcomes. Various factors should be considered when managing hypertension in elderly patients, and there are many controversial issues and conflicting results related to the optimal treatment of hypertension in the elderly. In this review, we provide an overview of the epidemiology and characteristics of elderly hypertensive patients and discuss the optimal treatment of hypertension in elderly people.
