摘　　要：BACKGROUND Hypertension is a common chronic disease in the elderly population,and its association with cognitive impairment has been increasingly recognized.Cognitive impairment,including mild cognitive impairment and dementia,can significantly affect the quality of life and independence of elderly individuals.Therefore,identifying risk factors for cognitive impairment in elderly hypertensive patients is crucial for developing effective interventions and improving health outcomes.Nutritional status is one of the potential factors that may influence cognitive function in elderly hypertensive patients.Malnutrition or inadequate nutrition can lead to various health problems,including weakened immune system,increased susceptibility to infections,and impaired physical and mental function.Furthermore,poor nutritional status has been linked to increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia in various populations.In this observational study,we aimed to investigate the nutritional status of elderly hypertensive patients and its relationship to the occurrence of cognitive impairment.By collecting baseline data on general information,body composition,and clinical indicators,we hope to identify risk factors for cognitive impairment in this patient population.The results of this study are expected to provide more scientific basis for the health management of elderly patients with hypertension,particularly in terms of maintaining good nutritional status and reducing the risk of cognitive impairment.AIM To explore the differences between clinical data and cognitive function of elderly hypertensive patients with different nutritional status,analyze the internal relationship between nutritional statuses and cognitive impairment,and build a nomogram model for predicting nutritional status in elderly hypertensive patients.METHODS The present study retrospectively analyzed 200 elderly patients admitted to our hospital for a hypertension during the period July 1,2024 to September 30,2024 as study subjects,and the 200 patients were
