ABSTRACT
Previous studies indicate a preliminary association between age and circadian blood pressure (BP) variation. This association would be affected by confounding factors in real-world populations. The authors investigated whether this is a convincingly independent association in a real-world population of adults with hypertension. Clinical data and findings of 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring were obtained from 297 consecutive adults with hypertension (60.19±0.77 years). BP dipping patterns were categorized based on the percentage of nocturnal BP drop. Multivariate linear regression analysis identified an independent correlation between age and percentage of nocturnal systolic BPdrop (ß=-7.296; 95% CI, -10.430 to -4.162 [P<.001]). Reverse dippers were the oldest and extreme dippers were the youngest. A significant age difference was noted among patients grouped into four BP dipping patterns with and without adjustments for sex, body mass index, drugs, diabetes mellitus, smoking, 24-hour mean heart rate, and 24-hour mean systolic and diastolic BP.
