Diastolic hypertension was related to significant intellectual loss over a 10-year period among individuals initially examined in their 60's. Such loss was not found in their age peers in association with normal or mild elevations of blood pressure. Of the subjects initially examined at 70 to 79 years of age, none with hypertension completed the follow-up program, and those with normal and mildly elevated blood pressure showed some intellectual decline over the decade. At the initial examination, hypertension was related to lower intelligence test scores only among those subjects who subsequently did not complete the follow-up program. The results suggest that hypertension is related to intellectual changes among the aged.
舒張期高血壓是涉及重大的智力損失在10年內初步審查個人之間在60年代。
這些損失沒有被發現在他們的年齡與正常同齡人在協會或輕度升高的血壓。
初步研究的受試者為 70至79歲，沒有高血壓完成後續方案，和那些與正常和輕度血壓升高表現出一定的智力下降的10年。
在初步檢查，高血壓是與較低的智力測驗中得分只有這些問題誰後來沒有完成後續方案。
結果顯示，高血壓是與老年人之間的智力的變化。
