Abstract: With the intensification of global population aging, the health issues of the elderly have increasingly become the focus of social attention. Among them, hypertension, as a common chronic disease, seriously threatens the health of the elderly. Hypertension is not only a major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also closely related to cognitive dysfunction. Clinical studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine treatment for elderly hypertension with mild cognitive impairment has the characteristics of a complete theoretical system, definite efficacy, and prominent advantages. Based on the literature, the current research status of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for elderly hypertension with mild cognitive impairment in recent years is summarized. The research progress on the etiology and pathogenesis of traditional Chinese medicine for elderly hypertension with mild cognitive impairment and internal and external treatment is reviewed, with the aim of providing a reference for further improving the theoretical basis and clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
