This study discusses recent guidelines based on past and current clinical studies regarding hypertension in elderly patients. In the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT)-Senior study, strict blood-pressure control involved a systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg or less, whereas the strategy of blood pressure intervention in the elderly hypertensive patients (STEP) study defined an acceptable systolic blood pressure as 110-130 mmHg. Because of the SPRINT-Senior and STEP studies, the target blood-pressure range for hypertension treatment in the elderly has become more rigorously controlled than previously. Based on recent well-designed clinical studies, it is recommended for healthy elderly individuals to maintain a systolic blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg. Frail elderly individuals might require personalized and tailored blood-pressure management.
