Resumo: | The presence of hypertension in the aging process is very common. Although this seems to exert a negative impact on cognition, the results of studies that link them are not conclusive. Amongst the cognitive rating scales, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - III and its abbreviated forms are considered to be the gold standard. This study aims to describe and compare the cognition of elderly people who are hypertensive and non-hypertensive by using short form SF8 and the results of the Mini Mental State Examination . A group of 118 elderly people, of whom 63 were hypertensive, was investigated in a community of a city in the state of Minas Gerais. The average age was 77.52 years (SD=8.89), the average number of years of schooling was 5.83 (SD=4.55) and there were more elderly women (71.2%). Amongst those with lower levels of schooling, only the verbal comprehension rate did not show a significant difference between the hypertensive and non-hypertensive. In the group with higher levels of schooling, no significant difference was found in terms of cognition. A strong relation between the results of the Mini Mental State Examination and short form SF8 was identified in both the hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups. Further studies should be conducted to further the knowledge of the relationship between these instruments. |

Embora esta pareça exercer impacto negativo na cognição, resultados de estudos que as relacionam não são consensuais. Dentre as escalas cognitivas, a Escala Wechsler de Inteligência para Adultos-III e suas formas abreviadas constituem-se como padrão-ouro. Objetivou-se descrever e comparar a cognição de hipertensos e não hipertensos, discriminados pela escolaridade, utilizando a forma abreviada 8 e resultados obtidos com o Miniexame do Estado Mental. Investigaram-se 118 idosos da comunidade de uma cidade mineira, sendo 63 hipertensos com idade média de 77,52 anos (DP=8,89), escolaridade média de 5,83 anos (DP=4,55) e predomínio feminino (71,2%). Entre aqueles com baixa escolaridade, apenas o Índice de Compreensão Verbal não obteve diferença significativa para hipertensos e não hipertensos. Entre os participantes de alta escolaridade não foram encontradas diferenças significantes na cognição. Identificaram-se associações fortes entre os resultados do Miniexame do Estado Mental e a forma abreviada com oito subtestes da Escala Wechsler de Inteligência para Adultos-III, nos grupos de hipertensos e não hipertensos. Estudos futuros devem aprofundar a relação entre esses instrumentos.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2011-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8867Psychological Studies; Vol. 28 No. 2 (2011): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 28 Núm. 2 (2011): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 28 n. 2 (2011): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8867/6275Copyright (c) 2023 Eliane Ferreira Carvalho BANHATO, Danielle Viveiros GUEDEShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBANHATO, Eliane Ferreira CarvalhoGUEDES, Danielle Viveiros2024-04-26T13:32:05Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8867Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-04-26T13:32:05Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
