“…In the present study, hypertensive elderly individuals with cognitive decline exhibited greater impairment for the dimension pain, in terms of quality of life, than hypertensive individuals without cognitive decline. This result corroborates the findings of Leite et al, 22 who reported that pain was associated with the worst mean values among elderly individuals with poor cognitive capacity.…”

Similarly, the findings of Winocur et al (2007) support the hypothesis that quality of life contributes to successful aging, more specifically, it contributes to preserve cognitive function.…”

“…Apesar de não apresentarem diferença significativa, os idosos mais jovens (60-69 anos) apresentaram déficit de atenção nas duas partes do teste de trilhas, com respectivamente 87,1% para parte A e 82,3% para parte B. Para o teste do relógio essa mesma faixa etária classificou-se com anormalidade (45,2%) e não apresentou suspeita de depressão (75,8%). 28 também detectaram declínio cognitivo nos idosos, com uma prevalência de respectivamente 36,5% e 23,5%. Neste sentido, o declínio cognitivo pode estar relacionado ao comprometimento da capacidade funcional destes indivíduos, acarretando perda de autonomia e independência, e consequente redução da qualidade de vida 27 .…”
