Why the study?
The relationship between high or low blood pressure and cognitive function in elderly outpatients with cardiometabolic diseases remained to be clarified.
Does blood pressure level correlate with cognitive impairment in elderly outpatients with cardiometabolic diseases?
Does blood pressure level correlate with cognitive impairment in elderly outpatients with cardiometabolic diseases?
In elderly outpatients with cardiometabolic diseases, lower systolic blood pressure is associated with probable dementia and reduced activities of daily living in those with treated hypertension, whereas higher blood pressure is associated with probable dementia in those without a history of hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
BP-cognition associations in elderly cardiometabolic outpatients remain inconclusive; hypothesis-generating and should not alter practice.
Ishikawa et al. (2023) studied this question.
