Age-related differences in ambulatory blood pressure during daily stress: Evidence for greater blood pressure reactivity with age

Article Abstract:

Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) is a predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and so it is very important to understand the links between age and blood pressure during daily life. After daily examination of middle-aged to older adults of ABP, it was concluded that relatively old individuals showed a significant increase in ABP compared to younger individuals when dealing with daily stressors.

Aging and cardiovascular reactivity to stress: Longitudinal evidence for changes in stress reactivity

Article Abstract:

A study to determine whether older adults show greater or lesser reactivity over time to psychological stress is presented. Findings revealed that older adults were more likely to show an age-related increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) reactivity to acute stress.
