Abstract

Introduction-Aim: The morbidity and mortality benefits of blood pressure control among the elderly is well documented. But the effects of hypertension control in this population are still under investigation. In this study, we aimed to study the consequences of hypertension on cognitive performance in the elderly. Material-Method: Seventy-five patients, over the age of 60, who have the minimum five years of education were enrolled in the study. Twenty-five normotensives, twenty-five normalized hypertensives and twenty-five treated but uncontrolled hypertensives constituted the groups. The Mini-Mental state examination (MMSE) was performed to evaluate cognitive function and student t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The MMSE scores of the normalized hypertensive, treated but uncontrolled hypertensive and normotensive groups were as follow: 28,24 ± 1,25; 21,68 ± 3,69 ve 27,76 ± 1,56. There was no difference of age and educational status between these groups. There was no difference of the duration of hypertension between normalized hypertensives and uncontrolled hypertensives. The MMSE scores of the uncontrolled hypertensive group was significantly lower than normalized hypertensive group (p

Özet

Giriş-Amaç: Yaşlılarda kan basıncı kontrolünün morbidite ve mortaliteyi azaltıcı rolü kanıtlanmıştır. Ancak bu popülasyonda hipertansiyonun kognitif fonksiyonlara etkisi halen tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yaşlı bireylerde hipertansiyonun kognitif duruma etkisini araştırmayı planladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Altmış yaş üstü, en az beş yıl öğrenim görmüş 75 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Bu hastalardan 25’inin antihipertansif tedavi ile kontrol altına alınmış hipertansiyonu, 25’inin tedavi ile kontrol altına alınamamış hipertansiyonu mevcuttu. Diğer 25 hastanın ise bilinen hipertansiyonu yoktu. Kognitif fonksiyonun değerlendirilmesinde Mini-Mental test uygulandı. Grupların Mini-Mental değerlerinin karşılaştırılmasında student t-test kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: Mini-Mental skor kontrollü hipertansiyon, kontrolsüz hipertansiyon ve hipertansiyonu olmayan gruplarda sırasıyla şöyleydi: 28,24 ± 1,25; 21,68 ± 3,69 ve 27,76 ± 1,56. Her üç grupta yaş ortalaması, eğitim düzeyi arasında anlamlı fark yoktu. Kontrollü hipertansiyon ve kontrolsüz hipertansiyon grubunda hipertansiyon süresi açısından anlamlı fark yoktu. Kontrolsüz hipertansiyonu olan hasta grubunun Mini-Mental değerleri kontrol altındaki hipertansiyonu olan gruba (p
