    Abstract

    It is from this period that the changes of aging starts being exerted on one’s mind, showering a property of neuronal plasticity on the brain, making it vulnerable to certain parameters like BP, level of physical activity, quality of education obtained, diet, presence of co-morbid conditions like atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, secondary hypertension, and last, but definitely not the least, the arterial stiffness. This dearth of studies is fulfilled by my study which is a cross-sectional study, comparing normotensives with prehypertensives, belonging to the age-group, 40-60 yrs.In our study there was significantly BP correlated with MMSE (Mini Mental Status Examination) (P=0.001*) and whereas CDT (Clock Drawing Test), TMT-A and TMT-B were not significantly correlated with blood pressure. It shows comparison between cognitive function and blood pressure. In our study there was BP significantly correlated with MMSE (P=0.001*) and whereas CDT, TMT-A and TMT-B were not significantly correlated with blood pressure.
