The Relationship between Changes in Normal-Range Systolic Blood Pressure and Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged Healthy Women

Little is known about the effect of normal-range blood pressure (BP) on cognitive function. In previous studies investigating the relationship between BP and cognitive function in elderly subjects, underlying cerebrovascular damage has complicated the interpretation of results.

Zusammenfassung:Little is known about the effect of normal-range blood pressure (BP) on cognitive function. In previous studies investigating the relationship between BP and cognitive function in elderly subjects, underlying cerebrovascular damage has complicated the interpretation of results. To reveal the relationship between BP levels that were within an absolutely normal range and cognitive function, we examined cognitive function in normotensive, healthy middle-aged women. BP levels were measured on three separate occasions at 1-month intervals, and the subjects exhibiting normotension (
