Relation of pulse pressure to long-distance gait speed in community-dwelling older adults: findings from the LIFE-P study.

Relation of pulse pressure to long-distance gait speed in community-dwelling older adults: findings from the LIFE-P study.

Reduced gait speed is associated with falls, late-life disability, hospitalization/institutionalization and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Aging is also accompanied by a widening of pulse pressure (PP) that contributes to ventricular-vascular uncoupling. The purpose of this study was to tes...
