Elevated blood pressure and decreased cognitive function among school-age children and adolescents in the United States
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the relationship between elevated blood pressure (BP) and cognitive test performance in a nationally representative sample of children. Study design The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III provides cross-sectional data for children 6 to 16 years, including BP and cognitive test scores. Elevated BP was defined as systolic or diastolic BP >or=90th percentile. Cognitive tests were compared for children with elevated and normal BP. Linear regression was used to evaluate the relation between elevated BP and decreased test scores. Results Among the 5077 children, 3.4% had systolic BP >or=90th percentile and 1.6% diastolic BP >or=90th percentile. Children with elevated systolic BP had lower average scores compared with normotensive children for digit span (7.9 vs 8.7, P=.01), block design (8.6 vs 9.5, P=.03), and mathematics (89.6 vs 93.8, P=.01). Elevated diastolic BP was associated with lower average scores on block design (9.5 vs 11, P=.01). Linear regression showed that elevated systolic BP was independently associated with lower digit span scores (P=.032). Conclusion Children with elevation of systolic BP are at risk for central nervous system end-organ damage, as manifested by decreased digit span test scores.

“The effects of CKD on neurodevelopment and cognitive function of children remain largely unknown, but age of CKD onset (42,43), duration of kidney failure (44,45), hypertension (46), anemia (47–50), and depression (51–53) have been associated with impairments in cognition and neurodevelopment.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
