Is Baseline Orthostatic Hypotension Associated With a Decline in Global Cognitive Performance at 4‐Year Follow‐Up? Data From TILDA (The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing)

Is Baseline Orthostatic Hypotension Associated With a Decline in Global Cognitive Performance at 4‐Year Follow‐Up? Data From TILDA (The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing)

Background It is postulated that orthostatic hypotension (OH), a reduction in blood pressure (≥20/10 mm Hg) within 3 minutes of standing, may increase cognitive decline because of cerebral hypoperfusion. This study assesses the impact of OH on global cognition at 4‐year follow‐up, and the impact of...
