  1. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; HTN, hypertension; MoCA-J, Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
  2. Parameter estimates (β) can be interpreted as differences in cognitive function score for each 10 mm Hg increase in SBP.
  3. *P<0.05; †P<0.01; ‡P<0.001.
