<P>hypertension is one of the earlist manifestation of carsiovascular disease and has been one of the most extensively investigated disease with respect to cognitive functioning(M.F. Elias,&Elias, 1990: waldstein &Elias, 2001). there in now evidence indicating that hypertension is associated with poorer cognitive performance among adilts now only in old age but at all adult ages. while the impact of hypertension on cognitive in old age is well established, recent findings by P.K.Elias and colleagues have further established the role of hypertension on cognitive functioning in young and middle adulthood(M.F. Elias, Elias, Robbins, Wolf& D'Agostino, 2001: P.K.Elias, Elias, Robbin, &Budge, 2004). indeed several studies suggest that cognitive performance differences are greater between young hypertensives (younger than 50 years) and normotensives than between late midlife hypertensives(50-70 years) and normaotensives (M.F.Elias, Schultz, et al, 1990; Waldstein et al., 1996). several epidemiological studies have found that higher blood pressure levels during middle age predict poorer cognitive outcomes in old age (Launer, Masaki, Petrovitch, Foley, & Havlik, 1995; Swan et al., 1996). In a 20-year longitudinal study, the magnitude of cognitive decline was 12.1% greater for persons who were hypertensive than for those who were never hypertensive. Thus, chronic hypertension is associated not only with level of performance but also with accelerated longitudinal decline in cognition(M.F. Elias, Robbins, &Elias, 1996; M.F.Elias et al., 1998; Knopman et al., 2000)</P>
<P>hypertension has been associated with loxer performance levels on tests of attention, learning and memory, executive functions, and visuospatial, psychomotor, and perceptual abilities(M.F. Elias & Robbin, 1991; M.F.Elias et al., 1987; P.K.Elias et al., 1995; Waldstein & Elias. 2001).</P>
