520 $a Research regarding hypertension and heart disease in older adults has indicated that these cardiovascular diseases are often associated with cognitive decline beyond that which is typically observed with normal aging. However, far less research has evaluated the relationship between non-diseased cardiovascular function and cognitive performance in older adults, and no studies have specifically addressed the intersection of nondiseased cardiovascular function, cognition, and everyday activities (i.e., instrumental activities of daily living, life space mobility). This study recruited community-dwelling adults (N = 197) age 65 and over and sought to evaluate these associations using structural equation modeling (i.e., SEM), as well as individual multiple regression analyses. Overall, cardiovascular function, as measured by systolic and diastolic blood pressures, was not significantly associated with cognition or everyday activities.
520 $a Participants reported no history of hypertension or reported pharmacologically controlled hypertension. However, a substantial portion of the sample was found to have blood pressure measurements in the hypertensive range (n = 84). Group comparisons based on hypertension status were conducted to evaluate whether cognitive or functional differences existed. No differences were found. In sum, among this select sample of generally healthy community-dwelling older adults, cardiovascular health did not affect cognition, life space mobility, or instrumental activities of daily living.
