β value | TUG time | ADL score | MMSE score | |
---|---|---|---|---|
SBP | Mean | −0.01 | 0.02 | 0.02 |
Variability | −0.02 | 0.03 | −0.03 | |
Complexity | −0.62** | 0.18** | 0.45* | |
DBP | Mean | 0.01 | −0.03 | −0.02 |
Variability | 0.02 | 0.03 | 0.01 | |
Complexity | −0.57** | 0.17* | 0.48* |
Indicated p < 0.05;
indicated p < 0.005. All the regression models were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, hypertensive status (i.e., hypertensive and normotensive), the use of antihypertension medication, duration of hypertension, and status of regular use of alcohol and smoking (i.e., smoker and non-smoker).
