Kamaruzzaman S et al. – Prevalence of OH was 28%, which increased with age and hypertension. Regardless of treatment status or diagnosed hypertension, raised blood pressure was strongly associated with OH. OH was strongly associated with number of antihypertensives taken; the association was slightly attenuated after allowing for age and co–morbidities. Women with multiple co–morbidities had markedly increased odds of OH independent of age, number and type of medications taken. Uncontrolled hypertension, use of three or more antihypertensives and multiple co–morbidities are predictors of OH in older women. Detection or monitoring of OH in these groups may prevent women from suffering its adverse consequences.
