Due to the high prevalence of older individuals with multiple morbidities, polypharmacy, and exposed to unnecessary or inappropriate treatments that can cause potentially serious adverse effects, better medication management should be an objective of all health professionals. This is particularly important in older patients with hypertension. Antihypertensive deprescribing and non-pharmacological strategies have been disseminated as viable and safe alternatives for improving the quality of care for hypertension in the older population.
由于患有多种疾病、同时服用多种药物的老年人比例较高,而且他们可能会接受不必要或不适当的治疗,从而导致潜在的严重不良反应,因此更好的药物管理应该成为所有卫生专业人员的目标。这在高血压老年患者中尤为重要。抗高血压药物的停药和非药物策略已被广泛传播,作为改善老年人群高血压护理质量的可行和安全替代方案。
