Abstract: Cognitive decline is an early sign of dementia, mainly manifested as the ability to learn new knowledge and memory decline in the near future, so early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment are an important research direction to alleviate dementia population. Previous studies have shown that blood pressure variability (BPV) is an important risk factor for cognitive decline. At present, there is a lack of systematic understanding of the specific effects of BPV on different subdomains of cognitive function and the treatment standard of BPV. This paper reviews the existing clinical studies, emphasizes that abnormal BPV causes adverse cognitive outcomes in all age groups, and proposes future research directions.
