Abstract:

Objectives

To explore the relationship between postprandial hypotension (PPH) and mild cognitive impariment(MCI) in elderly patients.

Methods

296 senile inpatients with mean age of 78.95 years (range from 60 to 95 years) were recruited. 194 patients were male (65.5%). Their postprandial blood pressures were measured every 30 minutes, and then divided into 2 groups according to the definition of PPH: PPH group and non-PPH group. Cognitive function was assessed by Peking Union Medical College Hospital vision of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-P), then divided into 2 groups according to the definition of MCI: MCI group and normal cognition (NC) group.

Results

There are 146 patients met PPH criteria (49.3%). 125 patients had MCI (42.2%). Compared with the non-PPH group, the PPH group had lower MoCA score (24.76±3.96 vs 25.66±2.98, P=0.028). The incidence of MCI in PPH group was significantly higer than in non-PPH group (50.7% vs 34%, P=0.005). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, average education years and PPH independently correlated with MCI [OR(95%CI) was 1.06(1.02-1.11), 0.83(0.76-0.90), 1.98(1.16-3.36) respectively, all P<0.05].

Conclusion

PPH may be an independent risk factor for MCI in elderly patients.

Key words: Postprandial hypotension, Mild cognitive impariment, Ambulatory blood pressure
