Abstract
Aim: The present study clarified the relationship between the temperature of bath water, the presence of systolic hypertension, the presence of antihypertensive medication, and the pulse rate during bathing, focusing on the variation of systolic blood pressure.
Methods: Twenty community-dwelling men 61 to 87 years old were included in the study. The subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups, based on bath temperature 39°C and 41°C. They were then given a full-body bath for 10 minutes.
Results: The variables significantly related to the change in systolic blood pressure from 2 to 8 minutes after bathing were the presence or absence of antihypertensive medication, and the interaction between the presence of antihypertensive medication and the change in pulse rate from 2 to 8 minutes after bathing.
Conclusions: Antihypertensive medication had a favorable effect on the reduction of systolic blood pressure during bathing.
