Hypertension is among the most common chronic conditions in older adults. Effective treatment exists, yet many older adults do not achieve recommended control of their blood pressure (BP). Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring, in which patients check their BP at home, is one underutilized tool for improving hypertension control. Older adults may face unique challenges in using SMBP monitoring and therefore require unique solutions. An individualized approach to guiding older adults to use SMBP monitoring is preferred.
高血压是老年人中最常见的慢性病之一。虽然有有效的治疗方法，但许多老年人的血压（BP）并未达到推荐的控制标准。自我测量血压（SMBP）监测是一种未被充分利用的工具，可用于改善高血压控制。老年人在使用 SMBP 监测时可能会面临独特的挑战，因此需要独特的解决方案。建议采用个性化的方法来指导老年人使用 SMBP 监测。
