Postprandial Hypotension and Impaired Postprandial Sustained and Selective Attention in Older Inpatients: Is There a Link?

The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of postprandial hypotension (PPH) in older inpatients, to verify the overall postprandial behavior of blood pressure and attentional performances, and to explore the overall associations between blood pressure (including PPH) and attentional performances. Eventually, we aimed to investigate differences on PPH, blood pressure values and attentional performances based on the subjects’ frailty status.
