Do Arterial Hemodynamic Parameters Predict Cognitive Decline Over a Period of 2Â Years in Individuals Older Than 80Â Years Living in Nursing Homes? The PARTAGE Study

This 2-year longitudinal study in very old institutionalized individuals shows that arterial stiffness and high HR enabled us to identify subjects at higher risk of cognitive decline, whereas BP alone did not appear to have a significant predictive value. These findings highlight the contribution of vascular determinants in cognitive decline even in this very old population.
