Hypertension is much more prevalent in the aged than in younger individuals and the risk of cardiovascular complications increases with age. Treatment of hypertension reduces this risk significantly. The benefits of treatment in improving prognosis are at least as striking in elderly as in young and middle-aged hypertensive patients.
