Read our Hypertension research guide →This is an observational study that tracks older adults with high blood pressure to understand how fluctuations in blood pressure throughout the day and at home are connected to frailty (weakness and loss of function) and serious health problems like falls, hospitalizations, or cardiovascular events. Researchers will monitor your blood pressure using standard monitoring devices and assess your overall strength and functional ability over time.
As people age, blood pressure can fluctuate in ways that may increase the risk of falls, hospitalizations, and other serious complications—especially in frailer individuals. This study aims to understand these patterns better so doctors can identify which older patients with high blood pressure are at highest risk and provide better, more personalized care.

You will visit the study center where researchers will measure your blood pressure using standard monitoring devices, including a portable monitor you may wear for 24 hours to capture how your blood pressure changes throughout the day and night. You will also complete assessments of your physical strength and daily functioning. The study will then follow you over time to track whether you experience any serious health events, such as falls, hospitalizations, or other complications.
