PRELIMINARY RESULTS: ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AND ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENZION IN SUPERCENTENARIANS

The study's goal is to determine the prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) and orthostatic hypotension (OH) in supercentenarians (those 95 years of age and older) as well as its effects on mortality. Materials and techniques A multidisciplinary team consisting of a geriatrician, nurse, and social worker conducted a thorough geriatric assessment at home for 82 supercentenarians that were 95 years of age or older (minimum age: 95, maximum age: 105).
