N2 - IMPORTANCE: Clinical evidence supports the beneficial effects of lowering blood pressure (BP) levels in community-living, robust, hypertensive individuals older than 80 years. However, observational studies in frail elderly patients have shown no or even an inverse relationship between BP and morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE: To assess all-cause mortality in institutionalized individuals older than 80 years according to systolic BP (SBP) levels and number of antihypertensive drugs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This longitudinal study included elderly residents of nursing homes. The interaction between low (
