Abstract
Aims and Objectives: To assess the cognitive function of pre-hypertensives as compared to normotensive individuals in the same age group (15 – 30 years). Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted on a sample size of 100 individuals belonging to the age group of 15 -30 years. Their blood pressure was recorded and the study participants were divided into pre-hypertensives and normotensives. Cognitive performance of both the groups was tested with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test and compared. Results: The study results showed a statistically significant difference between the cognitive function of pre-hypertensive and normotensive males but no such difference in females. Conclusion: The study suggests that there is some cognitive decline with increasing Blood Pressure even in the prehypertensive range in males. professor
