Abstract
Neither hypertension nor antihypertensive drug treatment or control appears to lower HRQL in the elderly Spanish population. Yet, among women, awareness of hypertension is associated with lower HRQL, irrespective of change of lifestyle recommended by the physician. The impact of hypertension labeling on HRQL might be attributable in part to prescription of antihypertensive drugs.
