A Although hypertension is not a normal physiological change of aging, older adults often experience hypertension because of vascular changes. Vascular changes include thickening of vessel walls, narrowing of vessel lumen, and loss of vessel elasticity. Systolic or diastolic hypertension (systolic pressure >140 mm Hg, diastolic >90 mm Hg) is seen in 50 of older adults.
B Hypertension is not caused by a reduction in physical activity.
C Older adults with hypertension should be counselled on limiting fat and salt in their diets; however, ingestion of processed foods high in salt is not the reason that older adult patients often experience hypertension.
