A thorough systematic review found that indeed there is a link between a CHD condition and brain dysfunction in females. [116] Consequently, since research is showing that cardiovascular diseases, like CHD, can play a role as a precursor for dementia, like Alzheimer's disease, individuals with CHD should have a neuropsychological assessment.

The sitting-rising test (SRT) is a clinical test which provides a significant and efficient prediction of mortality risk in the elderly. It was initially developed by Brazilian researchers in exercise physiology and sports medicine in the 1990s.
