Abstract
Using a room kept at a constant temperature, vasomotor tone was evaluated in a series of elderly subjects. Although partial defects in vasoconstriction were found in some, 78% had normal reactions to body cooling and heating. None had orthostatic hypotension. Vasomotor reflexes tend to be well maintained with aging.
