Association Between Lipid Accumulation Product and Cognitive Function in Hypertensive Patients With Normal Weight: Insight From the China H-type Hypertension Registry Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor for cognitive impairment. Lipid accumulation product (LAP), an index that represents fat overaccumulation in the body, has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the relationship between LAP and cognitive function in hypertensive patients with normal weight has been infrequently studied.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the relationship between LAP and cognitive function in hypertensive patients with normal weight.

Methods

This study included 5,542 Chinese hypertensive patients with normal weight. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The relationship between LAP and MMSE scores was evaluated using multiple linear regression.
