ePWV is a modest but independent predictor of cognitive function and cognitive decline among older individuals. After adjustment, the ePWV measure was inversely associated with performance and decline in global cognition, processing speed, episodic memory, executive function, and semantic memory. After adjustment, modification of the association between ePWV and change in episodic memory and executive function by race and ethnicity was suggested by a significant interaction term. The association between ePWV and episodic memory decline was stronger in females.
