Abstract
Hypertension is ubiquitous among older adults and leads to major adverse cardiovascular events. Nonpharmacologic lifestyle interventions represent important preventive and adjunct strategies in the treatment of hypertension and have benefits beyond cardiovascular disease in this population characterized by a high prevalence of frailty and comorbid conditions. In this review, the authors examine nonpharmacologic interventions with the strongest evidence to prevent cardiovascular disease with an emphasis on the older adults.
