Table 4.

The association of increased indexed visit-to-visit BPV and Verbal Category Fluency and Category Switching scores in separate multiple linear regression analyses for systolic BPV-SD and ARV.

Neurocognitive Variable (at most recent visit)	N	Visit-to-visit systolic BPV
Neurocognitive Variable (at most recent visit)	N	Estimate	95% CI	p-value

Category Fluency	222
BPV-SD		−0.21	(−0.92, 0.51)	0.57
ARV		−0.32	(−0.96, 0.32)	0.33

Category Switching	220
BPV-SD		−0.70	(−1.28, −0.12)	0.02
ARV		−0.54	(−1.05, −0.02)	0.04

All regression models adjusted for mean corresponding BP index, sex, age, maternal education, African-American race, BMI percentile, eGFR, percent of life with CKD, nephrotic proteinuria, and low birth weight.

ARV: average real variability, BMI: body mass index, BP: blood pressure, BPV: blood pressure variability, BPV-SD: standard deviation of visit BPs, CI: confidence interval, CKD: chronic kidney disease, eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate
