So what the fuck is the solution? Don't just lazily describe a problem and suggest no solution. My god, the incompetence out there is mind blowing. Such stiffness would also suggest never having your neck cracked by a chiropracter. A good chiropracter would do this test before cracking necks.
Maybe a solution in these posts;
- Arterial stiffness (12)
Or these for cognitive;
- cognitive recovery (8)
- cognitive rehabilitation (1)
- Cognitive Rehabilitation Training (3)
- Cognitive remediation (14)
- cognitive training (54)
Central arterial stiffness is associated with structural brain damage and poorer cognitive performance: The ARIC Study
Journal of the American Heart Association — Palta P, et al. | January 18, 2019
Researchers investigated whether
central arterial stiffening is related to structural brain damage and
cognitive impairment in this study involving a cross-sectional sample of
ARIC-NCS participants (aged 67–90 years; 60% women) with measures of
cognition (n=3,703) and brain MRI (n=1,255). They evaluated central
arterial hemodynamics as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and
pressure pulsatility (central pulse pressure). They derived factor
scores for cognitive domains. A greater burden of white matter
hyperintensities, smaller total brain volumes, and smaller Alzheimer
disease signature region volumes were observed among participants in the
highest quartile of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity vs those in the
lowest carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity quartile. Also, lower scores
in executive function/processing speed and general cognition were
observed in participants in the highest quartile of carotid-femoral
pulse wave velocity. Similar results were observed for central pulse
pressure. Overall, findings revealed an association of central arterial
hemodynamics with structural brain damage and poorer cognitive
performance among older adults.
