In a study of 843 independent-living men and women aged between 60 and 87 in Perth, Western Australia, stepwise multiple regression, after correction for initial levels of systolic blood pressure, showed that postural fall in systolic blood pressure was positively related to alcohol intake of more than 20 ml/day, the use of sleeping tablets and higher levels of anxiety on the Spielberger state-trait scale, and negatively related to body mass index. Postural fall in blood pressure was not significantly related to treatment for hypertension, age, sex, patterns of usual physical activity, tea or coffee drinking, or the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. This analysis is the first to examine the relationship between lifestyle factors and the magnitude of the fall in systolic blood pressure on standing after adjustment for the association between the change in a variable and its initial level. Our analysis suggests the need for further study of the possible role of lifestyle factors such as the use of sleeping tablets and alcohol in postural hypotension in the elderly.
