Postural Dysregulation in Systolic Blood Pressure Is Associated With Worsened Scoring on Neurobehavioral Function Tests and Leukoaraiosis in the Older Elderly Living in a Community

Abstract

Asymptomatic community dwelling elderly individuals with postural hypotension as well as those with postural hypertension had poorer scores on neurobehavioral function tests and more advanced leukoaraiosis demonstrated on MRI than those without exaggerated postural changes in SBP.
