Adjusted association between blood pressure and MMSE.

Blood pressure	β	95% CI	Wald Chi-square	P-Value
Duration of hypertension (per increment year)	−0.0088	(−0.0158, −0.0018)	6.14	0.0132
SBP (per increment of 10 mmHg)	−0.0655	(−0.1022, −0.0288)	12.22	0.0005
DBP (per increment of 10 mmHg)	−0.1230	(−0.1915, −0.0545)	12.38	0.0004

MMSE, Mini-Mental State examination; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; β, beta coefficient; CI, confidence interval.

Generalized linear model adjusted for sex, age, education, body mass index, living alone, anxiety, depression, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
