Abstract
INTRODUCTION We delineated the associations among long-term blood pressure variability (BPV), brain structure, and cognitive function. METHODS We included 1254 adult participants from the Kailuan study. BPV was calculated from 2006 to 2020. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were conducted in 2020. RESULTS Higher systolic BPV (SBPV) and diastolic BPV (DBPV) were associated with lower total and frontal gray matter (GM) volume, and higher SBPV was associated with lower temporal GM volume. Elevated DBPV was associated with lower volume of total brain and parietal GM, and higher white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume. Higher SBPV and DBPV were associated with lower MoCA scores. Decreased total and regional GM volume and increased WMH volume were associated with lower MoCA scores. The association between SBPV and cognitive function was mediated by total, frontal, and temporal GM volume. DISCUSSION GM volume may play key roles in the association between SBPV and cognitive function. HIGHLIGHTS SBPV and DBPV were negatively associated with total and regional brain volume. SBPV and DBPV were negatively associated with cognitive function. Decreased brain volume was associated with cognitive decline. GM volume mediated the negative association between SBPV and cognitive function.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hypotension is a leading cause of age-related cognitive impairment. The available literature evidences that vascular factors are associated with dementia and that hypotension alters cerebral perfusion flow and can aggravate the neurodegeneration of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the discovery of biomarkers and the recent progress made in neurovascular biology, epidemiology, and brain imaging, some key issues remain largely unresolved: the potential mechanisms underlying the neural deterioration observed in AD, the effect of cerebrovascular alterations on cognitive deficits, and the positive effects of hypotension treatment on cognition. Therefore, further well-designed studies are needed to unravel the potential association between hypotension and cognitive dysfunction and reveal the potential benefits of hypotension treatment for AD patients. Here, we review the current epidemiological, pathobiological, and treatment-related literature on neurovascular changes and hypotension-related cognitive dysfunction and highlight the unsettled but imminent issues that warrant future research endeavors.

[PMID: 37927340 PMCID: PMC10620971 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2023.1254463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The optimal control thresholds for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in patients with white matter hyperintensity (WMH) are still unclear. Method A longitudinal retrospective study of patients with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with intervals of more than 3 years was conducted. Blood pressure records during hospitalization and from outpatient visits between baseline and the last MRI scan were collected. The outcome was the change in total WMH from baseline to the final visit. Results Among the 965 patients with MRI scans, 457 patients with detailed longitudinal blood pressure records were ultimately included and classified into the WMH absent group (n = 121), mild WMH group (n = 126), and moderate to severe WMH group (n = 210). Both baseline and longitudinal mean SBP, DBP, and SBP SD were significantly associated with WMH severity (p < 0.05). An average SBP of 130-140 mmHg [vs. <130 mmHg, aOR, 1.80, (95% CI, 1.05-3.07), p = 0.03] was associated with a higher risk of WMH progression. DBP ≥ 90 mmHg [vs. <80 mmHg, OR, 1.81, (95% CI, 0.88-3.74), p = 0.02, aOR, 1.54, (95% CI, 0.66-3.53), p = 0.32] was associated with a higher risk of WMH progression, but was not after adjusted for other covariates. Longitudinal BP variability was not significantly associated with WMH progression. Conclusion Both SBP and DBP had a stronger relationship with the severity of WMH. A target mean SBP of <130 mmHg and mean DBP of <80 mmHg was associated with a lower risk of WMH progression.

CEREBRAL CIRCULATION - COGNITION AND BEHAVIOR 2023; 5:100181. [PMID: 37711969 PMCID: PMC10497990 DOI: 10.1016/j.cccb.2023.100181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
Background High blood pressure variability (BPV), particularly in older age, appears to be an independent risk factor for incident dementia. The current study aimed to investigate the association between different BPV measures (short- and mid-term BPV including circadian patterns) and cognitive functioning as well as vascular stiffness measures to better understand the role that BPV plays in cognitive impairment. Methods 70 older adults (60-80-year-olds) without dementia completed a cognitive test battery and had their blood pressure (BP) assessed via a 24-hour ambulatory BP monitor (divided into sleep and wake for short-term BPV) and 4-day morning and evening home-based BP monitor (for day-to-day BPV). Arterial stiffness was evaluated via pulse wave analysis and pulse wave velocity (PWV) and cerebrovascular pulsatility was assessed via transcranial doppler sonography of the middle cerebral arteries. Results High systolic as well as diastolic short- and mid-term BPV were associated with poorer cognitive functioning, independent of the mean BP. Higher short-term BPV was associated with poorer attention and psychomotor speed, whilst day-to-day BPV was negatively linked with executive functioning. Circadian BP patterns (dipping and morning BP surge) showed no significant relationships with cognition after adjusting for covariates. Higher systolic short-term BPV was associated with higher arterial stiffness (PWV) and higher diastolic day-to-day BPV was linked with lower arterial stiffness. No significant associations between BPV measures and cerebrovascular pulsatility were present. Conclusion High BPV, independently of the mean BP, is associated with lower cognitive performance and increased arterial stiffness in older adults without clinically-relevant cognitive impairment. This highlights the role of systolic and diastolic BPV as a potential early clinical marker for cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Dementia is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the aging population. Emerging evidence indicates that blood pressure (BP) variability is correlated with cognitive impairment and dementia independent of mean BP levels. The state-of-the-art review summarizes the latest evidence regarding the impact of BP variability on cognition in cognitively intact populations, patients with mild cognitive impairment, and different dementia types, focusing on the important confounding factors and new advances. This review also summarizes the potential mechanisms underlying the relationship between BP variability and cognitive impairment, and dementia, briefly discussing sex differences in the relationship. At last, current limitations and future perspectives are discussed to optimize BP management in preventing cognitive impairment and dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women have a high risk of frailty independently of age and menopause state. Diabetes and hypertension increase the risk of frailty and cognitive impairment. Metformin has been employed in post-menopausal women and some reports have shown encouraging effects in terms of attenuated frailty. However, the impact on cognitive performance of a recently introduced extended-release formulation of metformin has never been explored. METHODS We studied consecutive frail hypertensive and diabetic older women presenting at the ASL (local health authority of the Italian Ministry of Health) Avellino, Italy, from June 2021 to August 2022, who were treated or not with extended-release metformin. We included a control group of frail older males with diabetes and hypertension treated with extended-release metformin and a control group of frail older women with diabetes and hypertension treated with regular metformin. RESULTS A total of 145 patients successfully completed the study. At the end of the 6-month follow-up, we observed a significantly different cognitive performance compared to baseline in the group of frail women treated with extended-release metformin (p: 0.007). Then, we compared the follow-up groups and we observed significant differences between frail women treated vs. untreated (p: 0.041), between treated frail women and treated frail men (p: 0.016), and between women treated with extended-release metformin vs. women treated with regular metformin (p: 0.048). We confirmed the crucial role of extended-release metformin applying a multivariable logistic analysis to adjust for potential confounders. CONCLUSIONS We evidenced, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, the favorable effects on cognitive impairment of extended-release metformin in frail women with diabetes and hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypertension in midlife is a risk factor for cognitive impairment. Still, the ideal midlife blood pressure (BP) remains unknown. We examined associations between different systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels at the age of 40-43 years and change in SBP over a 25-year period with cognitive function at age 62-65 years. METHODS We included 2424 individuals born in 1950 who had participated both in the Age 40 Program (1990-1993) and the Akershus Cardiac Examination (ACE) 1950 Study (2012-2015). The exposure was SBP at age 40-43 years and the outcome was cognitive function at age 62-65 years, assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Delayed recall trial from the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Word List Memory Task, and Trail Making Test part B (TMT B). RESULTS Participants were 40.1 ± 0.3 years old with mean SPB 128 ± 13 mmHg at the Age 40 Program, and 63.9 ± 0.6 years old with mean SPB 138 ± 18 at the ACE 1950 Study. Adjusted linear regressions showed no associations between SBP and subsequent cognitive function. In logistic regressions, individuals with SBP ≥140 mmHg, compared to individuals with SBP <120 mmHg (odds ratio 2.29, 95% confidence interval 1.28-4.10, P-value 0.005) had increased risk of an abnormal TMT B-score. Change in SBP during the 25-year follow-up was not associated with cognitive function. CONCLUSIONS SBP ≥140 mmHg at age 40-43 was associated with reduced capacity on TMT B, a domain specific cognitive test sensitive to vascular impairment. No other associations were found between SBP, or change in SBP, and cognitive function.

Abstract
Background High visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) and hypertension are risk factors for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and probable dementia (PD). Few articles assessed the effect of BPV on the MCI and PD in intensive blood pressure treatment and the different functions of three types of visit-to-visit BPV: systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV), diastolic blood pressure variability (DBPV) and pulse pressure variability (PPV). Methods We performed a post hoc analysis of the SPRINT MIND trial. The primary outcomes were MCI and PD. BPV was measured by average real variability (ARV). The Kaplan-Meier curves were used to clarify the difference in tertiles of BPV. We fit Cox proportional hazards models to our outcome. We also did an interaction analysis between the intensive and standard groups. Results We enrolled 8,346 patients in the SPRINT MIND trial. The incidence of MCI and PD in the intensive group was lower than that in the standard group. 353 patients had MCI and 101 patients had PD in the standard group while 285 patients had MCI and 75 patients had PD in the intensive group. Tertiles with higher SBPV, DBPV and PPV in the standard group had a higher risk of MCI and PD (all p < 0.05). Meanwhile, higher SBPV and PPV in the intensive group were associated with an increased risk of PD (SBPV: HR(95%) = 2.1 (1.1-3.9), p = 0.026; PPV: HR(95%) = 2.0 (1.1-3.8), p = 0.025 in model 3) and higher SBPV in the intensive group was associated with an increased risk of MCI(HR(95%) = 1.4 (1.2-1.8), p < 0.001 in model 3). The difference between intensive and standard blood pressure treatment was not statistically significant when we considered the effect of the higher BPV on the risk of MCI and PD (all p for interaction >0.05). Conclusion In this post hoc analysis of the SPRINT MIND trial, we found that higher SBPV and PPV were associated with an increased risk of PD in the intensive group, and higher SBPV was associated with an increased risk of MCI in the intensive group. The effect of higher BPV on the risk of MCI and PD was not significantly different in intensive and standard blood pressure treatment. These findings emphasized the need for clinical work to monitor BPV in intensive blood pressure treatment.
