Key result
In a cross-sectional analysis of 961 participants, systolic orthostatic hypotension was significantly associated with poorer global cognition, verbal memory, and scanning and tracking scores.

Systolic orthostatic hypotension may flag cognitive vulnerability in community adults; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before screening implications.
Cross-Sectional (n=961)
Is systolic orthostatic hypotension associated with reduced cognitive function in community-dwelling adults?
Systolic orthostatic hypotension is significantly associated with reduced cognitive function in community-dwelling adults.
Torres et al. (2017) reported a cross-sectional. Systolic orthostatic hypotension vs. Normal systolic blood pressure change was evaluated on Cognitive function (global cognition, verbal memory, and scanning and tracking scores). In a cross-sectional analysis of 961 participants, systolic orthostatic hypotension was significantly associated with poorer global cognition, verbal memory, and scanning and tracking scores.
