Wei J, et al. - Researchers used data from 6,732 participants included in the 2013 survey of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study to assess the associations of characteristics of hypertension (including hypertension status, duration, blood pressure, and pulse pressure [PP]) with two cognitive functions—episodic memory and executive function—in people aged > 45 years in this cross-sectional study. In participants aged 45-59 years, researchers did not observe any significant relationship between hypertension and cognition; however, in those aged ≥ 60 years, they found that systolic blood pressure and PP demonstrated significantly adverse correlations to cognition. Findings demonstrated an age-dependent correlation between hypertension and cognition. In addition, researchers observed a greater correlation among older individuals. These results suggested that cognitive decline in those aged ≥ 75 years may be predicted by uncontrolled hypertension and PP.
