The evidence we have for the US, Australia and Korea indicates that men have slightly higher pressures than women and slightly greater prevalence of hypertension. In the US this sex difference is reversed at about age 70 and persists throughout the rest of the lifespan. How much these gender differences affect gender differences in cardiovascular disease manifestations is not clear, but remains an intriguing possibility.
