Figure 1.
Projected cognitive decline in hypertensive young adults. Linear regression lines for performance on a visualization/fluid intelligence composite score for older and younger adult age groups categorized by mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), either < 105 mm Hg or ≥ 105 mm Hg. Each regression line represents the estimated cognitive decline expected over 20 years for the two age groups by MAP category. Adapted with permission from reference .

Figure 2.
The effect of hypertension on the relation between disordered sleep as measured by PSQ score and executive dysfunction as measured by the Parent Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function Behavior Regulation Index (BRIEF BRI) score. Higher scores on the PSQ and BRIEF represent worse parent ratings of disordered sleep and executive function, respectively. HTN heightened the association between increased disordered sleep and worse executive function, interaction term, P = .04. Adapted with permission from reference .

Cerebrovascular reactivity as measured by Transcranial Doppler. Untreated hypertensive adolescents had blunted cerebrovascular reactivity to hypercapnia compared with normotensive controls. Groups: C, control; HU, hypertension untreated; PH, prehypertension; WCH, white coat hypertension. Adapted with permission from reference .
