In older adults with systolic hypertension, targeting a 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (BP) of ≤130 vs ≤145 mm Hg does not appear to be beneficial in terms of mobility outcomes during a 3-year period, although it yields a favourable effect on subcortical white matter disease, according to data from the INFINITY trial.
