Introduction:

Hypertension is common, and continues to be a significant risk factor in patients of advanced age.

The following free search strategy was used for this: “(hypertension) AND (drug therapy) AND (elderly OR older person)”, which would be found in the title or abstract.

A total of 83 articles associated with the subject of hypertension in advanced age were selected for the structured review. Aspects on the treatment were identified, as well as the assessment of the need, the therapeutic aims, as well as the characteristics associated with the safety of the pharmacological treatment.
