The Benefits of At-Home Blood Pressure Monitoring for Aging Adults

Managing health is a key part of maintaining independence, especially for adults aging in place and those that provide care for them. Among health concerns, high blood pressure is one of the most common concerns that they can face. According to Health in Aging, over 70 percent of older adults that are over the age of 60 currently have high blood pressure.

It’s important that blood pressure is monitored as we age due to the increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health issues. At-home blood pressure monitoring devices provide a convenient, effective way to keep track of cardiovascular health from the comfort of home.
