Approach to hypertension in geriatric population
Abstract
Hypertension is a systolic blood pressure >140 and/or diastolic blood pressure >90, measured with the appropriate method and confirmed by repeated measurements. Hypertension is quite common in our country, as it is all over the world. Its prevalence increases with age. Isolated systolic hypertension is especially common among the elderly. Considering the increasing comorbidity with age, blood pressure regulation has a very important place in the geriatric group to prevent complications such as coronary artery diseases, chronic kidney diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. During treatment, appropriate drug selection should be made, especially in geriatric individuals, by evaluating comorbidity and polypharmacy.

Keywords : Hypertension, geriatrics, polypharmacy
