Does cardiovascular disease predict changes in intellectual functioning from middle to old age?
Cardiovascular disease is a significant predictor of cognitive performance in middle to old age, though its relationship with longitudinal intellectual decrement is complex.
Hertzog et al. (1978) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease vs. No clinical cardiovascular diagnoses was evaluated on Performance on cognitive subtests. Cardiovascular disease was a significant predictor of performance on several cognitive subtests, though the pattern of effects was not completely consistent with intellectual decrement over time.
