There were 2582 women (43%) who reported falls in the 1 year of surveillance. Compared with nonhypertensive women, when adjusted for fall risk factors and lower limb physical function, the incidence rate ratio (IRR) for falls was 0.82 (confidence interval [CI] = 0.74\u20100.92) in women with treated controlled hypertension (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .0008) and 0.73 (CI = 0.62\u20100.87) in women with treated uncontrolled hypertension (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .0004). Neither measured systolic nor diastolic BP was associated with falls in the overall cohort. In women treated with antihypertensive medication, higher diastolic BP was associated with a lower risk of falls in a model adjusted for fall risk factors (IRR = 0.993 per mm Hg; 95% CI = 0.987\u20101.000;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .04).
