Noninvasive ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring is a developing method in clinical practice. Its interpretation needs reference standards stratified by age and gender. This study addresses ambulatory BP monitoring in elderly people with the purpose of quantifying the discrete and periodic variability of BP pattern over a 24-h period. The ABPM was performed in 92 clinically healthy subjects (45 men and 47 women) ranging in age from 76 to 102 years. The results refer to the time-qualified mean values with their dispersion, to the circadian rhythm with its parameters, and to the daily baric impact (BI) with its variability. The conclusion is drawn that BP preserves its nychtohemeral variability and circadian rhythmicity despite old age. The daily BP mean level and BI in older people in good health are comparable with those of young subjects, suggesting that humans surviving into old age are characterized by a eugenic control of their pressure regimen.
