Resumen:
Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although antihypertensive drugs are effective, they present risks in older adults. Deprescribing and lifestyle interventions are viable solutions to avoid adverse effects. This systematic review analyzes studies from the last ten years on non-pharmacological therapies to avoid polypharmacy in older adults with hypertension. Studies were reviewed in PubMed and SCOPUS following PRISMA guidelines. We selected 10 studies that explored diet, exercise and patient participation. Deprescribing showed positive results, and non-pharmacological interventions were effective, although more long-term research is needed
