Senescence is a leading cause of mortality, disability, and non-communicable chronic diseases in older adults. Mounting evidence indicates that the presence of cardiovascular disease and risk factors elevates the incidence of both vascular cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Age-related declines in cardiovascular function may impair cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation, leading to the disruption of neuronal micro-environmental homeostasis. The brain is the most metabolically active organ with limited intracellular energy storage and critically depends on CBF to sustain neuronal metabolism. In patients with AD, cerebral hypoperfusion, increased CBF pulsatility, and impaired blood pressure control during orthostatic stress have been reported, indicating exaggerated, age-related decline in both cerebro- and cardiovascular function. Currently, AD lacks effective treatments; therefore, development of preventive strategy is urgently needed. Regular aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular function, which in turn may lead to a better CBF regulation, thus reducing the dementia risk. In this review, we discuss the effects of aging on cardiovascular regulation of CBF and provide new insights into the vascular mechanisms of cognitive impairment and potential effects of aerobic exercise training on CBF regulation. We propose that age-related cardiovascular dysfunction profoundly alters cerebral blood flow (CBF). The stiffening and wall thickening of central elastic arteries elevate systolic (SBP) and pulse (PP) pressure which subsequently augment CBF pulsatility. The elevated mean arterial pressure (MAP), resulting from increased total peripheral resistance (TPR) and endothelial dysfunction, may induce cerebrovascular remodeling to increase the resistance (CVR) and impedance. The blunted cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) may lead to BP and CBF instability during extrinsic stimuli (e.g. postural change).
