Wei J, et al. - Researchers assessed the link between hypertension and cognitive function in this cross-sectional study performed on people aged over 45 years. They focused on how the characteristics of hypertension, including hypertension status, duration, blood pressure (BP), and pulse pressure (PP), were linked to episodic memory and executive function in these subjects. They analyzed data from 6,732 participants by using 2013 survey of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and weighted multiple linear regression. An age-dependent correlation was seen between hypertension and cognition, older subjects exhibited a greater correlation. In individuals ≥75 years, the suggested predictors of the cognitive decline in this study were uncontrolled hypertension and PP.
