Summary
This small pilot study looked at whether a short exercise program could improve thinking skills and blood vessel health in older adults (ages 55-75) with high blood pressure. Eleven participants completed a supervised exercise routine, and researchers measured changes in fitness, retinal blood vessels, cognitive function, and blood growth factors. The goal was to test if exercise could reverse some age-related decline and to explore new ways to track these changes using eye scans.
