Self-Monitoring Home Blood Pressure in Community-Dwelling Older People: Age Differences in White-Coat and Masked Phenomena and Related Factors-The SONIC Study.

ABSTRACT: Some studies reported that home blood pressure (HBP) monitoring was conducted by community-dwelling older people themselves, but there have been few studies on HBP including very old populations aged over 90 years old. Thus, the aim of the present study was to clarify the current situation of white-coat and masked phenomena defined by on-site and home BP measurements in community-dwelling old and oldest-old populations. The study subjects were 380 participants from the SONIC study, a cohort study of a community-dwelling old population, who measured their HBP in a series of 3-5 days by themselves and brought their HBP records to the venue on the survey day. Study participants' characteristics were as follows: female, 185 (48.7%); male, 195 (51.3%); 70s, 95 (25.0%); 80s, 245 (64.5%); and 90s
