Postprandial hypotension predicts all-cause mortality in older, low-level care residents.
To evaluate which indices of blood pressure (BP) homeostasis are the strongest predictors of mortality in older low-level-care residents in long-term health facilities. ⋯ In older low-level-care residents, PPH is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality with no added predictive value explained by other BP indices: OH, hypertension, PP, MAP.
