Summary
This study will evaluate different treatment strategies for high blood pressure using
medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of high
blood pressure. The study will compare the effects of an intensive reduction of 24-hour
average blood pressure to a standard reduction of 24-hour mean blood pressure on controlling
declines in mobility (speed and agility of walking) and cognition (ability to think and
process information) in an aging population.
