Why the study?
Does decreased systolic blood pressure in response to upright posture predict cognitive decline in older adults?

Asymptomatic orthostatic hypotension is associated with specific cognitive deficits, including slower reaction times and compromised serial list learning, in older adults.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet inform clinical decisions; leaves open whether orthostatic BP responses contribute to domain-specific cognitive deficits in aging.
Perlmuter et al. (1996) studied this question.
