Research Participation Opportunity: Blood Pressure & Cognition
Recent research studies have shown that high blood pressure can have negative impacts on cognitive functioning (e.g., memory, attention, decision-making). However, it is not yet understood how this link changes over time in relation to an individual’s daily experiences, stress, mood and personality traits.
Researchers from the University of Victoria are conducting a study that will help advance our understanding of how blood pressure affects cognitive functioning on a day-to-day basis, and what the risk factors are for developing sustained high blood pressure later in life.
