Systolic blood pressure and cognitive decline in older adults with hypertension

Annals of Family Medicine Mar 15, 2019

Streit S, et al. - In a study population of 1,266 subjects (69% women), researchers investigated whether 1-year alterations in cognitive/daily functioning or quality of life (QoL) in persons aged ≥ 75 years with or without complex health problems may be related to systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients undergoing antihypertensive treatment. For this purpose, they used data from Integrated Systematic Care for Older Persons—a population-based, prospective cohort study with a 1-year follow-up period. Less cognitive decline after 1 year, without loss of daily functioning or QoL, was observed among participants in this study sample, with SBP ≥ 130 mmHg vs < 130 mmHg. These effects were most pronounced in those with complex health problems.
