BACKGROUND 2014 hypertension guidelines raised treatment goals in older adults. The objective was to examine changes in blood pressure (BP) control (&amp;lt;140/90 mm Hg) from 2011–2013 to 2016–2017 among Black and white older adults with treated hypertension. METHODS Participants were 1,600 white and 650 Black adults aged 71–90 years in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study with treated hypertension in 2011–2013 (baseline) who had BP measured in 2016–2017 (follow-up). Predictors of changes in BP control were examined by race. RESULTS BP was controlled among 75.3% of white and 65.7% of Black participants at baseline and 59.0% of white and 56.5% of Black participants at follow-up. Among those with baseline BP control, risk factors for incident uncontrolled BP included age (relative risk [RR] 1.15 per 5 years, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07–1.25), female sex (RR 1.36, 95% CI 1.16–1.60), and chronic kidney disease (RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.01–1.40) among white participants, and hypertension duration (RR 1.14 per 5 years, 95% CI 1.03–1.27) and diabetes (RR 1.48, 95% CI 1.15–1.91) among Black participants. Among those with uncontrolled BP at baseline, white females vs. males (RR 0.60, 95% CI 0.46–0.78) and Black participants with chronic kidney disease vs. without (RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.36–0.93) were less likely to have incident controlled BP. CONCLUSIONS BP control decreased among white and Black older adults. Black individuals with diabetes or chronic kidney disease were less likely to have controlled BP at follow-up. Higher treatment goals may have contributed to these findings and unintended differences by race.
