Tendency to contracted intravascular volume
Increased peripheral vascular resistance
Tendency to lowered cardiac output
Decreased baroreceptor sensitivity
Increased blood pressure variability
Suppressed plasma renin activity
Decreased vascular endothelium production of nitric oxide Pathological changes- Age-related chronic medical conditions Medical Condition Frequency Per 1000 Persons in USA Age <45 y Age 46 - 64 y Age > 65 y Arthritis 30 241 481 Hypertension 129 244 372 Hearing impairment 37 141 321 Heart disease 31 134 295 Diabetes 9 57 99 Visual impairment 19 48 79 Cerebrovascular disease 1 16 63 Constipation 11 19 60
