Abstract
Aim Previous studies have shown the relationship between low blood pressure and high mortality in frail, disabled older adults in long-term care. However, the mechanism of this relationship is still unclear. We hypothesized that autonomic nervous activity decline is involved in the relationship between low blood pressure and high mortality. Methods The present prospective cohort study recruited 61 participants aged ≥75 years. The data from 24-h...
