Chronic stress is a risk factor for hypertension in adults. However, there is conflicting evidence for older adults. We hypothesized that age‐related arterial stiffening, which leads to a lower blood pressure (especially diastolic blood pressure [DBP]), is more pronounced among older adults with high vs low stress. The objectives of this study were (a) to investigate age‐related trends in systolic and DBPs among adults in rural Fujian, China, and (b) to examine differences in age‐related blood pressure trends according to levels of stress by using Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) antibody titer as a marker of chronic stress status.
