Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health problem in all age group but isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the commonest form of hypertension in elderly population and it is a better predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to diastolic blood pressure. Aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of modifiable factors on systolic blood pressure (SBP) in elderly population on systolic blood pressure in elderly patients. This prospective observational study was conducted on the patient attending OPD & IPD of HAHC Hospital, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi. All the elderly hypertensive with elevated systolic BP were included in the study, after explaining the details about the study and taking written consent data were recorded on a proforma. The patients were followed every regularly and the effect of drugs on SBP were assessed and recoded at monthly interval. Data were analysed by using IBM SPSSv20. This study documented that among the 220 hypertensive patients who completed the study 51% were female. The maximum numbers of patients were from of age group of 56 to 65 years (44.54%). This study also shows that 40.90% patients were tobacco user. Morbidity and mortality are increased by elderly hypertension. The number of elderly hypertension patients will increase for practitioners as the US aging population rises. Most ISH in elderly hypertension. Most difficult to treat. Evidence is quite strong for treating ISH. SBP management must come before DBP reduction. Clinical studies demonstrate that lowering SBP lowers cardiovascular and renal disease more than keeping SBP uncontrolled. Prioritizing elderly SBP management is necessary.
