Abstract
Hypertension, a prevalent condition among older adults, has been identified as a risk factor for cognitive decline. Nutritional status is a pivotal factor in preserving cognitive function in hypertensive older adults. Nutritional psychiatry underscores the significance of anti-inflammatory diets in promoting mental and cognitive health. This article examined the mechanisms by which body mass index, serum hemoglobin, serum albumin, and alkaline phosphatase levels predict cognitive function in hypertensive older adults. Nutrition emerges as a modifiable factor that can be targeted to maintain cognitive function in these patients.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Psychiatry (WJP) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJP is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of psychiatry. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJP is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJP are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in psychiatry.
