Does better midlife cardiovascular health reduce cognitive decline 20 years later?
Does better midlife cardiovascular health reduce cognitive decline 20 years later?
Improved midlife cardiovascular health may promote enduring cognitive health and reduce long-term cognitive decline.
Better midlife CVH was associated with higher midlife and reduced decline in cognitive function 20 years later. However, the benefits of midlife CVH on cognition were stronger for whites than for blacks. Our findings suggest that improved midlife CVH may promote enduring cognitive health.
