Nutritional psychiatry for hypertensive older adults.

Hypertension, a prevalent condition among older adults, has been identified as a risk factor for cognitive decline. Nutritional status is a pivotal factor in preserving cognitive function in hypertensive older adults. Nutritional psychiatry underscores the significance of anti-inflammatory diets in promoting mental and cognitive health. This article examined the mechanisms by which body mass index, serum hemoglobin, serum albumin, and alkaline phosphatase levels predict cognitive function in hypertensive older adults. Nutrition emerges as a modifiable factor that can be targeted to maintain cognitive function in these patients.
