Life-course blood pressure and cognition study (LCBP-COG)

高血压患者出现记忆等思维技能（也称为认知技能）问题的风险较高。我们知道，在认知能力不佳从外部显现出来之前很多年，大脑就开始发生变化。我们还知道，患有高血压的人不太可能再次患高血压。我们有可以降低血压的药物，但我们不知道什么水平对大脑最好以及持续多长时间。我们的研究将回答这个问题。

The risk of developing problems with thinking skills such as memory (also known as cognitive skills) is higher in people who have high blood pressure. We know that changes start in the brain many years before poor cognitive skills are seen on the outside. We also know that people who get high blood pressure are not likely to lose it again. We have drugs that can lower blood pressure but we do not know what level is best for the brain and for how long. Our research will answer this question.
