No matter what age you may be, lowering your blood pressure is the best health investment you can make. Read this study to find out how it can make you 21% less likely to die.
A study was recently conducted to find out just how much difference it makes to lower blood pressure in elderly patients. The results were so dramatically clear that the study was halted early so that everyone participating could benefit.
The study was conducted in 13 countries at 195 different hospitals. 3,845 people participated with an average blood pressure of 173/91.
Over a period of four years the study was conducted there was a dramatic drop in mortality rates. The results were caused by a drop in average blood pressure from 173/91 to 150/61. Overall mortality dropped 21%. Death from cardiovascular events dropped 23%. There were 30% fewer strokes and in the strokes that did occur the patients were 39% less likely to die. The largest drop came from a 64% reduction in heart failure deaths.
