Multi centre registries such as the French @entity2012 Registry created in 1999 provide data on rare disorders that are otherwise difficult to obtain. This study focuses on the characteristics of high blood pressure in @entity1 aged of over 70 years old. @entity1 AND METHODS: The data were obtained from the thirty centres where @entity1 had been recorded on the @entity2012 Registry since 1999. RESULTS: The Register listed a total of 644 @entity1 with @entity2012 at January 1st 2005, of whom 68 (22 @entity1 and 46 @entity1 ) were aged over 70 years old (10.6%). Their mean age was 76.8 +/- 5 years (range 70 - 95) and they had been presenting @entity2012 for 11 +/- 6 years (compared to 7 years in those aged less than 70). Their BMI were 27.9 +/- 4 kg/m2 for @entity1 , 27.7 +/- 4 for @entity1 (respectively 28.4 +/- 4.3 and 26.7 +/- 4.4 in those aged less than 70 years). @entity101 was particularly frequent in this population, reaching 80% vs. 27% under 70 years (p=0.0001). Prevalence was then higher than in general population (referring to FLAHS study). Mean blood pressure was 143 +/- 12 / 84 +/- 15 mmHg for @entity1 and 141 +/- 17 / 79 +/- 9 for @entity1 . 46% of @entity1 and 30% of @entity1 treated or not, had blood pressure over 140 / 90 mmHg. Data showed 12% of @entity13675 , 8% of @entity299 , 12% of @entity63 and 12% of @entity1 suffering from @entity3468 or @entity64 . Although various therapeutic strategies had been applied for young and elderly @entity1 , 51% in each group were in remission one year after inclusion. DISCUSSION: More than 10% of @entity1 are aged over 70 years in the French @entity2012 Registry and @entity101 is very frequently observed in this population. The increasing life expectancy due to currently available treatments justifies a strict management of @entity1 in order to reduce @entity65 , which stay the main cause of morbidity and mortality.
