Why the study?
Is elevated cardiovascular risk associated with accelerated cognitive decline in adults aged 50 and over?
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.
Does not support practice change; leaves open whether CV risk modification slows cognitive decline in adults ≥50.
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.
