Association between Blood Pressure and Cognitive Function in a Biracial Community Population of Older Persons

Association between Blood Pressure and Cognitive Function in a Biracial Community Population of Older Persons

We examined whether or not blood pressure is related to cognitive function in a cross-sectional study of a biracial community of 5,816 persons aged 65 years and older. Blood pressure had a curvilinear association with cognitive performance in linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, race and...

Zusammenfassung:We examined whether or not blood pressure is related to cognitive function in a cross-sectional study of a biracial community of 5,816 persons aged 65 years and older. Blood pressure had a curvilinear association with cognitive performance in linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, race and education. Scores were lower by 2–5 percentiles at 100 mm Hg systolic pressure compared to scores at the mean of 140 mm Hg and lower by
