This study investigated the effect of age on pulse pressure and its underlying mechanisms in unmedicated hypertensive men with the same level of mean arterial pressure. We included 77 men 17 to 76 years old with daytime mean arterial pressure between 95 and 114 mm Hg. In the supine position, pulse pressure showed a significant widening in young (30 to 40 to 49 years. Upright posture, however, eliminated this difference through a larger orthostatic fall in stroke index and pulse pressure in the youngest patients. After age 50 years, pulse pressure exhibited a progressive widening despite the further age-related decrease in stroke index. Supine, upright, and 24-hour pulse pressure fitted a curvilinear correlation with age (r=0.55, 0.56, and 0.68, respectively, P
