Effect of drug treatment on the elderly patient population in the full analysis set. (A) Mean SeSBP over time; (B) mean SeDBP over time; changes from baseline in mean (C) SeSBP and (D) SeDBP over time; achievement of (E) SeBP <140/90 mm Hg and (F) SeSBP <140 mm Hg from baseline through study end point (LOCF). aP
= .0011 for OM vs AC based on Cochran‐Mantel‐Haenszel test. bP
= .0004 for OM vs AC based on Cochran‐Mantel‐Haenszel test. AC, active control; EP, end point; LOCF, last observation carried forward; OM, olmesartan medoxomil; SeBP, seated blood pressure; SeDBP, seated diastolic blood pressure; SeSBP, seated systolic blood pressure
