Paper

Abstract

Hypertension is associated with an increased risk of frailty; however, the role of cumulative blood pressure and blood pressure variability in frailty remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the association between long-term blood pressure and the progression of frailty in older adults.

Research summary

The paper claims that long-term blood pressure is associated with the progression of frailty in older adults. This study is relevant as it explores the relationship between a physiological factor (blood pressure) and frailty, which is a significant aspect of aging and longevity research.
