It is normal for blood pressure to increase with age, says the National Institute on Aging. The main artery of the heart thickens and becomes stiffer as individuals age, which makes the heart work harder and increases blood pressure, explains the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Although blood pressure rises naturally with age, lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol in excess, inactivity, diets that are high in fat and sodium, and obesity all contribute to high blood pressure, notes WebMD. Aging persons can take action to lower blood pressure by exercising every day, eating a low-sodium and low-fat diet, getting enough sleep, cutting down on alcohol and giving up smoking, says the National Institute on Aging.
