Effect of drug treatment on the elderly patient population with diabetes. (A) Mean SeSBP over time; (B) change from baseline in mean SeSBP over time; achievement of (C) SeBP <140/90 mm Hg and (D) SeSBP <140 mm Hg from baseline through study end point (LOCF). aP
= .4478 for OM vs AC based on Cochran‐Mantel‐Haenszel test. bP
= .5853 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; SeSBP, seated systolic blood pressure
