For systolic BP (SBP), higher mean, maximum, cumulative load, and last measure were associated with higher risk of cognitive decline\/dementia, but mean conferred the highest risk (relative risk 1.18, 95% confidence intervals [CIs] 1.06-1.31). For diastolic BP, higher mean, maximum, variability, cumulative load, slope, and last measure were associated, while load showed the strongest association (1.23, 95% CI 1.12-1.36). Only the mean PP was associated (1.11, 95% CI 1.00-1.24). For MAP, MAP load showed the strongest association (1.20, 95% CI 1.09-1.33).
