Blood pressure-related differences in brain health between young African Americans and Caucasian Americans.

MAP was an important moderator of racial differences in cognitive performance and ERC thickness. Our findings suggest that young AAs may carry a greater hypertension-associated risk for cognitive brain health deficit. Interventions that address early signs of hypertension in AAs are needed to determine if the racial disparities in BP-related brain health in late adulthood can be reduced.
