Blood Pressure Trajectory, Gait Speed, and Outcomes: The Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study

Conclusions:
In this study, we found that the overall level of BP was associated with myocardial infarction, stroke, and death, and this association differed by baseline gait speed, whereas changes in BP were not associated with these outcomes.
