Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects approximately 70% of individuals in the United States older than 65 years of age. It can lead to a variety of health problems, including heart disease and stroke. Macular degeneration, although a common age-related vision problem, affects a smaller percentage of older adults. Chronic fatigue syndrome and myasthenia gravis, while health problems that can occur in late adulthood, are less common and have different causes and symptoms than hypertension.
