New Hypertension Guidelines say systolic BP 120-129 & diastolic less than 80 are ELEVATED !!!!
New Target <120 m HG.....in >65 HIV+ hypertension is 25% more common vs HIV-negatives >65
from Jules: exercise & diet affect blood pressure.
"Hypertension is the leading global preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature death"
HIV Independently Boosts Odds of Hypertension in Older
HIV+/HIV- Cohort - Lipodystrophy/heart disease.....HIV infection independently inflated the odds of hypertension in a comparison of 527 HIV-positive and 517 HIV-negative older people in the Netherlands [1]. Higher waist circumference and stavudine-induced lipoatrophy at least partly explained the impact of HIV on chances of hypertension....."limiting the occurrence of abdominal obesity is important in preventing hypertension and reducing cardiovascular risk."......http://www.natap.org/2015/EACS/EACS_06.htm

"Hypertension is the leading global preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature death
In general, there were linear associations between mean achieved SBP levels and the risk of major CVD, stroke, CHD, all-cause mortality, and CVD mortality (Figure 3 and Figure 4; eFigure 2 and eTables 5-7 in the Supplement). The lowest risks for major CVD, CHD, all-cause mortality, and CVD mortality were at a mean achieved SBP of 120 to 124 mm Hg, whereas the lowest risk for stroke was at a mean achieved SBP of less than 120 mm Hg."
