What is the Epidemiological Evidence on Antihypertensives?
Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated the efficacy of antihypertensives in reducing the risk of adverse health outcomes. For instance, the Framingham Heart Study provided robust evidence that managing blood pressure through medication significantly lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Other large-scale studies, such as the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program (SHEP), have shown similar benefits in older adults.
