Prevalence of orthostatic hypotension and associated factors among older people with hypertension in Northern Ethiopia

There was a high prevalence of OH among older patients with hypertension attending a tertiary care hospital in Gondar, with one in four affected. The use of CCBs was identified as an independent risk factor for OH. Most patients with OH experienced relevant symptoms, so monitoring this condition in this group may help prevent adverse consequences.
