Association of Longitudinal Change in Ambulatory Blood Pressure With Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: There has been no study about the association of longitudinal change in ambulatory blood pressure (BP) variability and level with cognitive decline. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether BP changes via ambulatory BP monitoring predict cognitive decline progression. Methods: Twice-annual ambulatory BP readings were examined during 5 years and their relationship with changes in the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) scores. BP variability was assessed using SD, coefficient of variation, and average real variability (ARV). Cognitive decline, defined as a change in the MoCA-J score, was assessed, with the threshold set at the quartile showing the greatest decrease, which we categorized as cognitive dysfunction (-4 points or less). Results: = 0.007), consistent across coefficient of variation and ARV. No association was found between changes in BP level and MoCA-J score decline. Conclusions: In older adults with controlled BP, increased BP variability was linked to cognitive decline, warranting further study as a prevention target.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
