Baseline and 7-Year longitudinal trajectories of systolic blood pressure and all-cause mortality in the elderly: A large prospective cohort study in China, 2017–2023
Gradual SBP increases from normal (≤160 mmHg) with age are associated with reduced mortality in the elderly. These findings challenge strict hypertension control guidelines, advocating for age-adjusted SBP targets to optimize survival outcomes. Further validation across different ethnic groups and regions will be needed in the future.
