Masticatory function and cognitive function
Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica, 2010 Recent studies have suggest that masticatory (chewing) function is useful for maintaining neurocognitive function in the elderly. For example, a reduced ability to masticate, such as that resulting from toothlessness or soft-diet feeding, causes learning and memory deficits in aged animals and pathologic changes in the hippocampus.

Efficiency Index for Binary Classifiers: Concept, Extension, and Application
Mathematics, 2023 Many metrics exist for the evaluation of binary classifiers, all with their particular advantages and shortcomings. Recently, an “Efficiency Index” (EI) for the evaluation of classifiers has been proposed, based on the consistency (or matching) and ...

Hypertension and Cognitive Function
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2008 Arterial hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and dementia are related pathologies. This paper has reviewed comparatively the incidence of arterial hypertension and adult-onset dementia disorders. Hypertension is associated with cerebrovascular disease, which is in turn associated with dementia.

Cognitive function and hypertension [PDF]
Journal of Human Hypertension, 2008 The importance of lowering blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive subjects is well known but the relationship between hypertension and cognitive function is controversial. This article reviews the role of hypertension in the aetiology of cognitive impairment and the relationships between BP, cerebral perfusion and cognition. It also summarizes findings of
