OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between blood pressure and mortality in very old people.DESIGN: Population-based cohort Study.SETTING: County of Vasterbotten, Sweden.PARTICIPANTS: Half of all Subjects aged 85 and all of those aged 90 and 95 and older (N = 348) in one urban and five rural municipalities in the north of Sweden.MEASUREMENTS: Among others, supine blood pressure, Mini-Mental State Examination, Barthel Index of activities of daily living, Mini Nutritional Assessment, and body mass index. Information oil diagnoses, medications, and 4-year mortality was collected. Associations between blood pressure and mortality were investigated using Cox regression analyses, controlling for a number of diagnoses and health factors.RESULTS: Baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure, and Pulse pressure were all inversely associated with mortality within 4 years according to univariate analysis. SBP was the strongest predictor. In Cox regression analyses, low SBP (
