Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a known risk factor for adverse cognitive outcomes. The age at which it begins to affect cognitive function remains unclear.
AIM: The work aimed to investigate the impact of elevated blood pressure on cognitive function in middle-aged adults by assessing the auditory P300 event-related potential.
METHODS: This study included residents of Arkhangelsk aged 45–59 years with hypertension (n = 102) and without hypertension (n = 100). Three age periods were defined: 45–49, 50–54, and 55–59 years. Each age period was divided into two groups: group 1 (control)—individuals without hypertension; group 2—individuals with hypertension of the corresponding age. P300 and N2 components were recorded using a Neuron-Spectrum-4/VPM electroencephalography system (Neurosoft, Russia) with an auditory oddball paradigm. Blood pressure was measured with an OMRON Healthcare automatic tonometer.
RESULTS: In the 45–49-year age range, individuals with hypertension of median duration 5 years showed no differences in N2 or P300 latency or in P300 amplitude compared with the control group. In the 50–54-year age range, individuals with hypertension of median duration 8 years showed reduced P300 amplitude in the right parietal (P4) region compared with corresponding controls. In the 55–59-year age range, individuals with hypertension of median duration 9.7 years showed reduced P300 amplitude in parietal (P3, P4), central (C3, C4), and frontal (F3, F4) regions, along with prolonged N2 latency in the left parietal (P3), left anterior temporal (F7), and right frontal (F4) regions.
CONCLUSION: Middle-aged individuals with hypertension demonstrated a decline in attentional resources beginning at 50–54 years, and by 55–59 years this was accompanied by both reduced attentional resources and slowed speed of auditory stimulus discrimination and recognition.
