Memory loss, as measured by the Wechsler Memory scale was examined as a function of diastolic blood pressure during a 6.5-year follow-up period among individuals initially tested in their 60's. On the initial testing, memory was not related to blood pressure. At the end of the follow-up period, the hypertensives showed greater impairment in memory for nonverbal material involving time limits and a psychomotor component than did their age peers with normotensive and borderline elevations of blood pressure. The hypertensives' poor performance, however, was found only on specific sub-task items and appeared not to be influenced by item difficulty alone but rather by other performance factors such as difficulty in deciding what to do, understanding test instructions, or state anxiety associated with the testing situation. Memory for highly meaningful verbal material was not related to blood pressure.
在对60多岁的个体进行的为期6.5年的随访期间，通过韦氏记忆量表测量的记忆丧失情况被作为舒张压的函数进行了研究。在初次测试时，记忆与血压无关。在随访期结束时，与血压正常和临界升高的同龄人相比，高血压患者在涉及时间限制和心理运动成分的非语言材料记忆方面表现出更大的损伤。然而，高血压患者的不佳表现仅在特定的子任务项目上出现，而且似乎并非仅受项目难度影响，而是受其他表现因素影响，如决定做什么有困难、理解测试说明或与测试情境相关的状态焦虑。对高度有意义的语言材料的记忆与血压无关。
