Yes - very interesting. One thing I notice about that report was that they defined low blood pressure as anything under 120/75. Which is weird to me as I was always told I had normal blood pressure at 105/65 and that diastolic wasn't considered low until it was under 50. Interesting there are different scales of low. So in that in the study they weren't even looking at 'extremely' low pressures, just run of the mill low-normals. Which means the association could be even stronger at even lower pressures. Or not.
I did read somewhere that mildly depressed women actually live longer than never-depressed women. At least there is 1 benefit, LOL.
