Key result
High-normal fasting blood glucose and elevated pulse pressure were independently associated with decreased memory performance and slower perceptual-motor processing in healthy adults.
Why the study?
Do fasting blood glucose levels and arterial pulse pressure predict cognitive performance in healthy adults without diabetes or hypertension?
Population
104 healthy adults (ages 18 to 78) without diagnoses of diabetes or hypertension
Design
Cross-sectional

No immediate practice change warranted; leaves open whether high-normal glucose or pulse pressure predict cognitive decline.

Do fasting blood glucose levels and arterial pulse pressure predict cognitive performance in healthy adults without diabetes or hypertension?
Even in healthy adults without clinical diabetes or hypertension, higher normal fasting blood glucose and pulse pressure are independently associated with subtle cognitive deficits.
Dahle et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy adults (n=104). Fasting blood glucose and arterial pulse pressure was evaluated on Cognitive performance. High-normal fasting blood glucose and elevated pulse pressure were independently associated with decreased memory performance and slower perceptual-motor processing in healthy adults.
