Abstract
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 age and hypertension on this association. Methods and Results Data from waves 1 and 3 of TILDA (The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing) were used. Baseline blood pressure response to active stand was assessed using beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring. Two measures of OH were used-at 40 seconds ( OH 40) and 110 seconds ( OH 110). Global cognition was measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Mixed-effects Poisson regression assessed whether baseline OH was associated with a decline in global cognition at 4-year follow-up. The analysis was repeated, stratifying by age (age 50-64 years and age ≥65 years), and including an interaction between OH and hypertension. Baseline OH 110 was associated with an increased error rate in Montreal Cognitive Assessment at follow-up (incident rate ratio 1.17, P=0.028). On stratification by age, the association persists in ages 50 to 64 years (incident rate ratio 1.25, P=0.048), but not ages ≥65 years. Including an interaction with hypertension found those with co-existent OH 110 and hypertension (incident rate ratio 1.27, P=0.011), or OH 40 and hypertension (incident rate ratio 1.18, P=0.017), showed an increased error rate; however, those with isolated OH 110, OH 40, or isolated hypertension did not. Conclusions OH is associated with a decline in global cognition at 4-year follow-up, and this association is dependent on age and co-existent hypertension.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
