Résumé
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the longitudinal study PARTAGE (predictive values of blood pressure and arterial stiffness in institutionalized very aged population) was to determine the predictive value of blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness for overall mortality, major cardiovascular events and cognitive decline in a large population of institutionalized patients aged 80 and over. In the study herein, we present the baseline data values of this study. METHODS: A total of 1130 patients were recruited (878 women), living in French and Italian nursing homes. Clinical and 3-day self-measurements of BP were conducted. Aortic and upper limb pulse wave velocity were obtained using a PulsePen tonometer. RESULTS: Of this population, 76% of women and 60% of men had a known hypertension and over 91% of the patients were under antihypertensive treatment; 51% of the treated hypertensive patients were well controlled (systolic BP
