Arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity correlated with cognitive decline in hypertensive individuals: a systematic review.

The results were similar: (1) cross-sectional analysis demonstrated the highly significant association between cfPWV > 13.8 m/s with MMSE (b=-0.37, p = 0.016) and a quick test of cognitive speed (AQT, b = 4.81, p = 0.004) scores [ 35 ]; (2) longitudinally, after adjustment the association between cfPWV with prevalent dementia (OR = 0.95, p = 0.40) and incident dementia (OR = 1.0, p = 0.96) was not significant [ 41 ].
