Day-to-day blood pressure variability and dementia

heterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings

from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...

Day-to-Day Blood Pressure Variability and Risk of Dementia in a General Japanese Elderly Population

BACKGROUND Several observational studies have reported that higher visit-to-visit blood pressure variability is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. However, no studies have investigated the association of day-to-day blood pressure variability assessed by home blood pressure measurement with the development of dementia. METHODS A total of 1674 community-dwelling Japanese elder...

How to best assess blood pressure? The ongoing debate on the clinical value of blood pressure average and variability.

It is half a century since high blood pressure (BP) measured in the doctor’s office has been proved to be a strong predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, it soon became clear that multiple factors can significantly affect the BP measurement result (Table 1) and may thereby have considerable impact on its prognostic ability. Despite the intensive research with almost 120 0...

Day-to-day variability in home blood pressure is associated with cognitive decline: the Ohasama study.

Although an association between high blood pressure and cognitive decline has been reported, no studies have investigated the association between home blood pressure and cognitive decline. Home blood pressure measurements can also provide day-to-day blood pressure variability calculated as the within-participant SD. The objectives of this prospective study were to clarify whether home blood pre...
