Primary Arterial Hypertension and Cognitive Function in Young Adults
Key Findings:
- Young adults with primary hypertension (PH) showed poorer performance in tasks of response speed and sustained attention compared to healthy controls.
- High office systolic blood pressure (oSBP) was independently associated with poor sustained attention.
Practical Solutions and Value:
- Regular monitoring and management of blood pressure in young adults with PH may help improve cognitive function.
- Healthcare providers should consider cognitive assessment as part of the care for young adults with PH.
- Further research in larger trials is needed to confirm the specific cognitive profile associated with PH in young adults.
