Is elevated cardiovascular risk associated with accelerated cognitive decline in adults aged 50 and over?
Elevated overall cardiovascular risk is associated with accelerated cognitive decline in older adults, suggesting interventions should target overall risk profiles rather than individual factors.
elevated cardiovascular risk may be associated with accelerated decline in cognitive functioning in the elderly. Future intervention studies may be better focused on overall risk rather than individual risk factor levels.
