Association of body mass index with cognitive function in elderly hypertensive Japanese.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In hypertensives, nondippers are more likely than dippers to suffer silent, as well as overt, hypertensive target organ damage. In this study, we investigated whether a nondipper status was associated with target organ damage in normotensives. METHODS:We performed ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring, ...
